Scottish Youth Theatre invites you to witness an evening of live performances, installations and interactive experiences exploring belonging, place and Glasgow.

Based at Civic House for 10 weeks, the 5 young artists have been collaborating and devising original work that responds to site, space and their stories within it. These works experiment with the boundaries of performance; manifesting through narrative, exhibition-making, digital interplay and one-to-one encounters across the site.

Trajectories Artists' Statement:

"From prisons and playgrounds to galleries; from the torment of our minds to the feeling of laughter; we are bonded to each other by experience, place and the urge to belong. But belonging isn’t simply the act of habitation. It’s putting your hands in history, smiling at strangers, stepping over shattered bottles and viewing different prisms of experience.

Glasgow is an oasis of affinity. Glasgow is a place of bitter history and gatekept resource. We acknowledge both with critiques born of love. This process has, like this city, honed what we value and developed our capacities to create. We are invigilators, watchers, entertainers and guides. We welcome you, like this city has welcomed us."

~ Bethan Murray, Iman Akhtar, Julia Hegele, Lily Carmen Smith and Michael Phillips
