Time Capsule Week 12: Final Week

Level 3 Performing Arts students from South Eastern Regional College (SERC) are taking part in a Coronavirus Time Capsule project involving groups of young people from around the world.

Fiona Cullen, Lecturer in Performing Arts, “The Coronavirus Time Capsule is a free project for groups of young people around the world organised by London based theatre group Company Three who give teenagers the space to tell their own stories. At this time of year our students are usually gearing up for a huge end of year production which was due to be performed in Space, Bangor on 24 March, but due to the lockdown this was not possible.  The publisher, who gives us performance rights and permission for this production, Nick Herne Books, got in touch to advise us about the Coronavirus Time Capsule project and our Level 3 Performing Arts students were all keen to get involved.

“At SERC, we have made the transition to online learning and this project fitted perfectly with our course.   It gives the students another reason to be creative, to continue their studies and to focus on something that is beyond the confines of their home. It is another way of engaging them in their studies but also giving them the opportunity to create something that they can look back on in years to come with their children and grandchildren. They will have captured themselves at a time when things changed dramatically.  

"Our Final Coronavirus Time Capsule instalment. Thank you to Company Three for giving us the opportunity to record the last 13 weeks in lockdown and to all the staff at SERC for supporting us in our online studies and promoting our time capsule. Our videos will now be edited together and sent to North Down Museum for their archive so that future generations can see what life was like during the Covid 19 lockdown 2020. Thank you for watching our videos every week. We have loved every minute - we hope you have. Stay safe everyone. Nuala, Mackenzie, Taylor & Georgia"
