ONCOMM NOMINEE
Online Commendation 2020

In a world of binary choices, young people are beyond the labels and titles that define them. They’re tired of asking for permission to be themselves.

“I know I am some kind of wonderful. I will love myself, I am beautiful.”

*untitled is a visual EP 
It’s lo-fi, yet hi-tech. 
It’s performance, but also real life. 
It’s individual and universal. 
It’s about young people, but speaks to everybody.

Between October 2019 and February 2020, Zest Theatre toured its latest production to venues across the country. Youthquake was co-created by a professional creative team and young people from 11 cities. Each performance put local young people aged 17 – 20 centre stage, and explored what it meant to be young and change the world. Then the pandemic hit and everything we thought we knew was turned upside down.

Zest has reunited some of these young people to co-create something new. Made remotely, and filmed entirely on their phones during summer 2020, this 20-minute piece, made up of music videos, monologues, poetry and conversation, explores the experiences of young people from across the country, what they need now and where they’re heading next.

Made remotely in Ashford, Barnsley, Bath, Birmingham, Brighton, Canterbury, Darlington, Guisborough, Ladock, Lincoln, Liverpool, London, Margate, Middlesbrough, Redcar, Sittingbourne, Skelton, and Whitley Bay.
