Brainstorm

The teenage brain has 86 billion neurons connecting and colliding to produce a stage of life that is chaotic, exhilarating and, at times, frustrating.

Brainstorm?is a theatrical tornado exploring how adolescent brains work, and why they’re designed by evolution to be the way they are and how they affect their relationships with the grown-ups in their lives.

Co-created and performed by Leeds Playhouse Youth Theatre members, and directed by Youth Theatre Director Eleanor Manners, this mind-boggling show is devised from an original collaboration between Company Three and neuroscientists Professor Sarah-Jayne Blakemore and Dr Kate Mills.

Designed to be performed by teenagers, Brainstorm draws on personal experiences. The end result is a tumultuous exploration of what it means to be a teenager, today. It will leave your neurons fizzing.
