National Youth Theatre of Great Britain Presents SLICK

The Park Hill Estate, Sheffield, will host SLICK, the second part of The National Youth Theatre of Great Britain (NYT)'s environmental trilogy, which opened in 2010 with S'WARM at Battersea Power Station and various sites across London.

Performed by 300 young NYT members, SLICK will shake up the politics of pollution in a FREE site-specific immersive show with epic choreography and live music.

Inspired by the continued debate on climate change and the global waste epidemic, the audience will be led on a journey to a brave new world.

Staged in Sheffield's iconic Park Hill Estate, SLICK will combine the NYT's young talent and expert-led scientific research to create a spectacular large-scale outdoor production.

SLICK will be written by Ali Taylor, and staged by creative director Paul Roseby and director Anna Niland.

All tickets will be FREE.

50 years on from the birth of Sheffield's Park Hill Estate, this monument to social housing has been celebrated and criticised in equal measure but is now enjoying a stunning regeneration programme, led by Urban Splash. The 17 acre site provides the perfect backdrop for epic storytelling, with streets in the sky, views over Sheffield and urban-amphitheatres ideal for ensemble choreography and breathtaking audience aerial views.

Paul Roseby, creative director of SLICK, is Artistic Director of the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain. Further information, and biographies, below.

The National Youth Theatre are delighted to be working with Scarabeus Theatre and the Yorkshire-based Phoenix Dance Theatre company on SLICK.
