Flash Mob Event _ Worcester Festival

Hi All,

Hope you are all well and keeping busy with all your fantastic projects! 

I have been asked to organise a Flash Mob Event for The Worcester Festival on Saturday 10th August.  My youth theatre, Tremor Theatre Company will be getting involved in the event, but in order to create maximum impact I have had a brain wave to include as many youth theatres as possible across the county.  So I am emailing you to gauge interest.  If you are interested to find out more information please reply to this email.

My idea for the Flash Mob is relatively simple and shouldn't take too many hours for youth theatre leaders to guide.  I do understand that this may be too short notice for some especially if you already have a project you are working towards, however if you would like to get involved in something that will create a 'bit of a buzz' around Worcester, this event should take minimum effort put if we can get as many young people involved as possible, should have a huge impact!

I look forward to hearing from you all.  Please forward this to any youth theatre groups or individuals you think may be interested.

Kind regards,

Mel
