Salisbury Summer Skills

16th – 21st August 2010

Appleford School, Shrewton, Salisbury

BOYS ARE SMELLY, GIRLS ARE MEAN

In just one week, we're going to make a show that explodes some myths about boys and girls. A lot of the traditional ideas about men and women are changing. Stay-at-home dads, career-women and “metrosexuals” all show that gender roles are more mixed-up then they used to be. Boys have to balance being more sensitive and being a bloke. For girls, being a mother and having a career is still not always so simple. How much is down to biology and how much society?

Humans have thousands and thousands of genes but only 78 of them separate men and women - maybe we're not as different as we think...

We want to work with a group of vibrant, inquisitive, excited, creative young people to make a show around these themes. There'll be singing, dancing, acting, music, improvising, debates, ideas, fun and laughs along the way. So come and join us in sunny Salisbury!
