We’re making a documentary!
Local company LiMETOOLS has taken on the challenge of turning hours of raw footage into a documentary about our summer theatre project in the Himalayas. We are so grateful for their generous sponsorship, and can’t wait to see the end results.
Peter Malan filmed every aspect of the project whilst we were in India, from learning to ride yaks to performing in impossibly small dark temples.
Peter said “I interviewed everyone who had an opinion about what we were doing in Spiti: teachers, audience members, locals, the cast, of course, and even the King of Spiti. People talked about all kinds of subjects, ranging from the meaning of true wealth through to how the children think one should use the various types of toilet in Spiti.”
Undaunted by this mountain of film, LiMETOOLS are picking out the gems and stringing them together to make a documentary that can be used to show what the Yak Pack Theatre Project was all about.
Bournemouth-based LiMETOOLS build immersive gaming tools that change behaviours within large organisations, particularly in areas of high risk like Energy Sustainability and Cyber Security.
Director John Dale said “Our products are being used in areas where the sustainability of the environment is becoming a real challenge. We have great respect for any organisation that is brave enough to try and support these communities in different ways. The Yak Pak Project has used its considerable skills and passion to deliver that support and we are privileged to be able to help them tell that story in the hope that it may encourage others.”
Ben Lindsey-Clark said “We hope it will help us to spread the word about the power of theatre in schools and beyond, especially in this part of the world where creative and playful learning is rarely a part of the curriculum.”
As you might imagine, the Yak Pack is very excited about the documentary, and hugely thankful to LiMETOOLS for their sponsorship and expertise.
