Intermission Youth Theatre in Education is an exciting new theatre company, helping young people get involved in unique drama experiences, delivering exceptional shows in London to passionate audiences, and we’re proud of what we do.

We have a long history of working with young people at risk of offending – those who live in tough communities and youths who lack the opportunity or support to fulfill their dreams. These young people work alongside other professional actors to produce exciting drama performances.

St Saviour’s in Knightsbridge is home to Intermission – a community of Christian performers, writers and artists who use the dynamic spaces at St Saviour’s for workshops, performances and exhibitions.

Once here they discover a family who hold to a promise to support them 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Some of their challenges are enormous but we are passionate about being a constant in their often chaotic lives and seeing a transformation in them.

IYT uses theatre as a tool to inspire, nurture and encourage. Theatre is about working as a team and learning to step into other people’s shoes. Intermission builds confidence and self-belief through creating a sense of belonging where young people can thrive.

Our work incorporates creativity across the school curriculum. We have a proven track record of giving young people the life skills and confidence they need to move on to further education, find employment and make life changing decisions.

Hard-hitting topics such as gang culture, post code rivalry, gun & knife crime are covered, as well as many more subjects close to young people living in London.

Through our work, we address issues such as communication, confidence, team work, reflection, weighing up choices, diversity and forgiveness. And all of this is done using the works of Shakespeare.

We take our plays into schools all over the UK in order to build awareness of young people’s issues, as well as to reach out to their communities

This is a community special school, working across four sites in London, whose aim is to ensure that children and young people, aged between four and 18, have their rights to education preserved whilst in hospital. A number of places are also held for those who can’t access mainstream school because of medical conditions.

The sites are located at:-

Chelsea & Westminster Hospital, SW10
The Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospital, SW3
The Collingham Child and Family Centre, W8
St Mary’s Hospital, W2

They provide access to the National Curriculum, taking into consideration each student’s individual needs and through this, they develop the whole pupil, spiritually, socially and intellectually.

“Art and Drama therapists support the children who have difficulties attending school brought about by medical conditions. This is especially important as 60% of these students have been bullied because of their condition,” said Janette Steel, Principal.

Open 50 weeks a year, teaching approx. 3,000 children, the 2010 Ofsted report rated the school as ‘outstanding’.

The Inspectors said to parents and children, “CHHS provides outstanding education for its pupils, based on extremely high quality teaching and learning.

In addition to the regular school curriculum they run Youth Club sessions after school. During the holidays they provide a full range of arts and crafts activities e.g. cookery, animation, dance and art therapy.

The Household Cavalry Foundation Fund

The Household Cavalry Foundation has been set up to care for the men, families, horses and heritage of Britain’s Senior Regiment.

Whether caring for soldiers injured on operations or providing relief to retired veterans and their dependants, the Household Cavalry Foundation aims to provide an umbrella of support to its Regimental family.

The Foundation is in place to provide succour to five charitable aims;

• Soldier Welfare: To provide support to, and promote the efficiency of, serving members of the Household Cavalry. Whether to relieve distress or hardship, assist those injured on training or in peacetime, or encourage sport, adventure training, team building or charitable endeavour, the Household Cavalry Foundation is there to care for all men serving both home and abroad.

• Casualty Welfare: To provide financial support to injured soldiers and their families, including those who have lost their lives on active service, through the Household Cavalry Operational Casualties Fund.

• Veterans Welfare: Relieve past members of the Household Cavalry and their dependents who are in need, hardship or distress, or those who have become seriously ill, or have broader welfare needs.

• Horse Welfare: To provide and support, financial or otherwise, to organisations and individuals involved in the welfare of our horses such as the Horse Trust.

• Maintain the Fabric of the Household Cavalry: To ensure the maintenance of our operational and ceremonial heritage and ethos, museums and archives, regimental property, and recruiting.

Monies raised for The Household Cavalry Foundation is to help the wounded soldiers, their families and also the horses – their care not only while they are actively serving in The Cavalry but also their care once they retire from their “duties”. No soldier or horse is ever forgotten by The Household Cavalry.

This year will be our 25th Motcomb Street Party – so a big celebration. It’s absolutely amazing that our event is now in it’s 25th year!

Over all the years we have given over £1 million to the various charities that we’ve supported. Last year we gave £52,500 to the charities and really want to top that amount this year and make it our best ever. There are no tickets for the event, just turn up. On entrance we ask for a donation to the charities. This year we’re asking if all could donate £10. Some people give less others give a lot more more. It’s up to you and the charities are hugely grateful for your all donations.

We are fund raising for the Household Cavalry Foundation and the Cystic Fibrosis Trust

FYI….

The tribute acts are really excellent – each have their own history. Two of the acts we have had in the past and are back by popular demand.

Since Since winning his heat of the Stars in Their Eyes in 1994, Rob Lamberti has become one of the hottest acts around! Within months of his amazing rendition of Faith on Stars in Their Eyes, the endless phone calls for bookings persuaded him to turn professional.

Rob has now performed all over the world as a solo artist and his performance includes favourites such as Faith, Club Tropicana, Wake Me Up, and I’m Your Man – right up to his performance of Outside in his Authentic L.A Police uniform!

Spotted by Chris Evans when he performed at the 1999 Virgin Christmas Party, he subsequently went on to perform last Christmas on the Christmas Eve TFI Friday TV show, alongside the Pet Shop Boys and the Lightening Seeds.

No Stranger to TV, – Rob has also appeared on the Girlie Show and the Late Late Show with the fabulous Corrs. He was also invited to appear as a guest with Shirley Bassey on the Spanish version of Stars in Their Eyes during 1996. His accurate images and unbelievable performance of the George Michael and Wham songs make this the number one live tribute show.

Having been a great success at The Motcomb Street Party in 2011, The Rod Stewart Experience makes a welcome return for 2012.

The U.K’s number one tribute to Rod Stewart, Garry Pease is back with his fantastic band which comprises of : Nick Crutchley ( guitar ), Jimmi Jimmi ( bass ), Mark Leeson ( keyboards ) and Dave Ballard ( drums )

The Rod Stewart Experience once again brings you the hits of the living legend ‘Rod Stewart ‘ with songs such as ‘Maggie May’, Da Ya Think I’m Sexy’, ‘You Wear It Well’, ‘Sailing, ‘Stay With Me’ and many more. This is a show not to be missed!

Garry’s played his unique Rod Stewart tribute at many venues throughout the UK and Europe and numerous TV productions for:
The BBC
ITV
SKY TV
MTV
Channel 4 Television
Pulp’s Music Video
Granada TV’s “Stars and their Doubles”

After Billy’s appearance on “Stars In Their Eyes” in 1998, He has taken the Country by storm with the most dynamic impersonation ever of the Welsh singing star.

Billy’s show has taken him all over the world and has given him many TV appearances over the last few years, including the Labour party conference which was televised on the National news in 1999.

With a repertoire which includes; It’s Not Unusual, Kiss, Delilah and Sexbomb, Billy never fails to get an audience up for a good time at any event.

When impersonating a “superstar” with a voice like Tom Jones, the most important thing is being able to musically “pull it off” and Billy does this with surprising ease, even to the point of being asked to “demo” recordings for Tom Jones himself.

Billy’s ability to be able to adapt to the venue and audience is what has made him the most popular and most “in demand” Tom Jones Tribute in Europe today giving him the nick name “The Gov’nor”
