Echoes of some of these young people's stories will then be digitally, visually integrated into the performance furthering their personal experience and creative engagement over a two day workshop. Epiphany is inspired by the assertion by Sir Ken Robinson that people are generally better at everything if they can live and work in their 'element'. See Ken's profile on the TED website to watch his much distributed TEDTalk. To learn more on The Element visit his personal website here.

Epiphany will engage young people by challenging them to explore what their element might be. Through the model of It's Our Theatre we encouraged artists to be role models and reveal their own stories to the young people they worked with. At Theatre Is... we recognised that very often these stories were describing two things; what it is like to live in your element and the moment of epiphany which revealed to the artist what they loved and were naturally good at doing.
