What is Athenaeum Productions? Athenaeum Productions is an independent production company founded by George Jaques, a 17 year-old student. He approached a group of friends who he had met through various productions, drama groups and schools to join a theatre company. Athenaeum consists of a group of young creatives, who try to explore new ways of creating across the arts. They tackle current issues and present them in a way which is both entertaining yet focuses on the severity of the situation. After six months Athenaeum Theatre Company then expanded and opened up to include other people, reinventing itself into Athenaeum Productions. The chance to work with young, aspiring, up and coming artists proved exciting for all of the actors. |

George Jaques - FounderWhen I was 16 I founded Athenaeum Productions. This was a direct response to my strong belief about the benefits that theatre and film have as a medium for self-expression. Something particularly important for young adults caught in the limbo between the security of childhood and the independence of adulthood. My aim when starting the company was to showcase what a group of young creatives can achieve when given autonomy away from classrooms or other youth theatre groups run by adults, in spite of the fact they may not feel that they are always taken fully seriously by their older counterparts. I want to create work which looks at taboo subjects but refuses to shy away from the gritty reality. In doing so I hope to make these subjects a talking point whilst making it entertaining. |
