Tottenham Hotspur & ATG introduce West End In Tottenham!
Tottenham Hotspur has joined forces with Ambassador Theatre Group (ATG), to bring world-class theatre engagement to young people in the London Borough of Haringey.
West End in Tottenham offers a series of workshops to young people aged 11-18 years old to celebrate London’s arts and culture and put the voices of N17 centre stage.
The programme forms part of the club’s continued drive to provide life-changing opportunities for young people in Tottenham, creating a sport and leisure destination around its new stadium and embracing the arts and culture.
Donna-Maria Cullen, Executive Director, Tottenham Hotspur, said: “We know that the wealth of talent that exists amongst young people on our doorstep extends far beyond sport – this is why partnering with ATG to bring the West End to Tottenham has the potential to be transformational.
“Some of the world’s biggest theatre productions take place just half an hour away from N17, yet dreams of one day being on the stage can seem so distant for young people in our neighbourhood.
“West End In Tottenham can change that and open the eyes of Tottenham teenagers to the world of performing arts through a series of engaging and inspiring workshops, held right here on our stadium campus.”
Conor Hunt, Creative Learning Producer (West End), ATG added: ‘‘Creative Learning at the Ambassador Theatre Group are thrilled to be working with Tottenham Hotspur on the West End in Tottenham programme.
“The programme offers a series of workshops, ranging from beatboxing to Hip Hop theatre; supporting young people across Haringey to discover, create, and take part in live performances.
“We are committed to nurturing the next generation of artists and creators to see theatre as a space for them – bringing our West End expertise to the local community of Tottenham.”
