A show about the things we can’t stop thinking about from The Yard Theatre’s in-house company of 7-11 year olds. Together with international performance duo emma + pj this energetic company of young people are ready to take you into a world of obsessions. Expect original tunes, riotous fun and lots of slime.

Between 2018 and 2019, we facilitated weekly sessions in devising and experimental performance as part of the Yardlings: Bigger programme at The Yard Theatre in Hackney Wick, London. Collaborating with 20 young people aged 7-11, we created OBSESSION PARTY, a one-night-only performance presented for the public on the professional main stage at The Yard.

With support from Katie Greenall, Katherine Igoe-Ewer, Debbie Lewis, Lara Tysseling, and James Dawson.
