"The whole experience has produced a seismic shift in the method I use to work"

"I really do feel I've learnt something about myself and my process - I've come out of it feeling somehow 'unlocked'. I'm going to try to hold onto it."

In August 2007, for the very first time, Cheek by Jowl brought together a group of talented young directors and designers in one forum, to work with Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod and the Cheek by Jowl team on placing the actor and the ensemble at the heart of their work.

Directors: Adan Black Rachel Briscoe Katie McAleese Roland Smith

Designers: Chris Gylee Maureen Freedman Harry Scott Avgoustina Tchkoreva

The directors and designers exhibited thoughts and ideas for Twelfth Night generated by the Summer School on January 21st at Toynbee Studios, London.

The 2007 Cheek by Jowl Young Directors and Designers Summer School gratefully acknowledges the support of the FOYLE FOUNDATION.
