And of course, the final weekend makes the most of Halloween, with a

pumpkin carving extravaganza (p31) followed by a special Festival Finale

Parade (p31) – get dressed up, join in, and keep your eyes peeled…

In this exhibition, commissioned specially for Juice Festival, children aged 10 and 11 from St Aidan’s C of E Primary School in Gateshead have documented their own lives, photographing themselves, their families and friends.

known photographers: Gideon Mendel and Crispin

Hughes, the children took digital cameras home

and decided what to photograph.

DNA by Dennis Kelly

A group of teenagers do something bad, really bad, then panic and cover the whole thing up. But when they find that the cover-up unites them and brings harmony to their otherwise fractious lives – where’s the incentive to put things right?

DNA is a poignant and sometimes hilarious tale

with a dark heart that has been described as

‘Grange Hill for the Skins generation’.

Meet the cast after each show and join their

discussion about the themes and issues contained

in the play and the challenges of putting on this

production.

The Night Pirates Presented by Theatre Hullabaloo

When dark shadows come stealing down Tom’s bedroom walls he thinks it might be monsters or ogres or trolls.

But Tom’s not afraid, for he’s a brave little boy. So

he peeps out of the window and what should he see

but PIRATES. Stranger still they’re GIRL PIRATES,

stealing the front of his house!

A fantastical moonlit adventure with puppets, song

and ballet-dancing pirates. This delightful adaptation

of the much loved picture book has been specially

The Next Level is commissioned by Juice Festival,

Without Walls and Brighton Festival and Dome.

Following their hugely popular performance at last year’s festival we are delighted to welcome back the Urban Playground Team & Gravity Style with their brand new show.

In The Next Level the award-winning Urban Playground Team combine their contemporary and urban dance styles with the astonishing skills of Parkour’s co-creators – Gravity Style. Welcome to the art of movement, welcome to The Next Level!

In partnership with Newcastle City Council’s Arts Development Team, young people have been working with Urban Playground to create micro-choreographies as curtain raisers to this fantastic performance.
