New Millennium Experience Award 2000 - Our Town Story

In the year 2000, Eastside took part in McDonald's Our Town Story, part of the New Millennium Experience at the Millennium Dome in London. Our Town Story invited children from every local education authority across the UK, to perform the story of their local communities through drama, dance, music and song to 1500 people in the Millennium Dome. Westminster City Council commissioned Eastside to represent 2000 years of history live on stage, with a cast of 40 children from local schools. We created a performance that combined physical theatre, dance, carnival and film to tell the story of a day in the life of the City of Westminster - the political and cultural heart of the capital.
