Outreach
Hydrocracker offers high quality educational and outreach interventions.

Intrinsic to our interest in reaching new audiences with exciting work is involving young people and the wider community in our processes and products.

In our productions:
  • The New World Order: Involved students from Brighton ACT, Brighton City College and Northbrook College as soldiers / stewards / civil servants with intrinsic speaking roles in the production.
  • The Erpingham Camp: Members of the Buxbaum Musical Theatre Group based in Brighton did brilliant work as our Red Coats: singing, dancing and entertaining the happy campers.
  • Shakespeare a la Carte: Involved the waiters and manager at Pizza Express in Brighton interacting with the audience and speaking Shakespeare.
  • How Are You Feeling?: Students from Northbrook College in Sussex played medics and patients in our development workshops and showing at Brighton General Hospital.
