This October, Shopfront Arts co-op. will reopen their doors to welcome audiences to their newly redesigned home as they present 'To My Younger Self,' directed by Mallory Sedger, on stage from 15th to 18th October, and streamed live via Facebook.

As Sydney's only youth-led arts co-operative, Shopfront invites Young People to pitch their ideas for performance works to their membership, which is made up of over 4500 Young Artists aged 8 - 26 across Sydney. From these pitches, the members vote on the works that will make it to the stage. The young artist is given dramaturgical support, an industry mentor, residency space and a season to present their work. 'To My Younger Self' is one such work.

Each day the world around us changes, one day to the next can look so different and it is a common thought - given the opportunity what would I tell my younger self? Carefully written using actual letters written by members of the public, audiences will be taken on a journey as the letters of strangers to their past selves, and we jump headfirst into a whirlpool of memories and the innocence of youth.

Shopfront Arts is for Young People, by Young People. Co-led by powerhouses Daniel Potter and Natalie Rose, Shopfront make Young People's voices heard. With big plans for the future, and recent state of the art renovations, it is a space where Young People come together to express themselves.
