Jonny reports in on the events of Wednesday evening...
Today, Yew Tree Youth Theatre put on Question Time(esque) debate. This included four pannelists, CT, Without a doubt, Crooksey and Proctor Pepper. One presenter(esque), mixeruperer, RG Bargi and an audience.
The reason behind staging this event was to use the debate for one of the Yew Tree Youth Theatre podcasts. Everything was recorded, massive thanks to Nige and Oz (who held the boom for an impecable amount of time).
The audience came prepared with questions to ask the pannelists, question topics consisted of finance, media, education and one more i've forgot that I hope Sarah will fill in for me after I send this to her. (Wakefield)
The set up was so professional and the pannelists not only coped with every question but answered extremely eloquently and honestly, recalling moments from their history to justify points and shared their inner thoughts are feelings. The pannelists were extremely brave, they were going into the debate blind, with only the topic titles to support them. It was really something to see younger people (than the people on question time) handle such a daunting situation so impressively. Topics touched on were ones such as 'Does uniform effect work rate at school?', 'When is the age when children make their own decisions?' etc etc. You will have to listen to the podcast to find out more, I won't give too much away.
So much thought was provoked about subjects that resonate with the majority of people. Ideas were pushed about, and Girg played the essential role of devil's advocate to really explore all areas of the topic being discussed. The audience were attentive, adding the odd opinion and sometimes adding questions to provoke more debate.
Yew Tree is renowned for its reflection, however, because the underlying commonality is drama, we often analyse this subject to the max. It was intruiging to delve into people opinions on external matters, such as politics, laws and the community we live in.
I personally loved it. It was a pleasure to behold.
