Eamonn and Robin on their time on the It’s My Move 2025 tour

In December 2025 we completed another successful tour of our Theatre in Education show: It’s My Move

We were delighted to have Robin back for his eighth year on the project playing the part of ‘Warren’, as we were equally delighted to welcome Eamonn to a long list of esteemed neurodiverse actors playing the part of ‘Stanley’ (sometimes performed as ‘Stephanie’). Here’s what they had to say about their experience of being on the 2025 tour of ‘It’s My Move’…

I have been a part of ‘Its My my move’ for the last 8 years and played the character of Warren. Alongside the other actors we perform in special schools and colleges around London and other parts of the UK. I enjoy playing the part of Warren because he wants to be a DJ but his mum is worried that he will get bullied and is sacred to let him go to college. The audience help the characters to make decisions about their choice. It can be hard work setting up the props needed for the performance and shaving everyday to keep looking young!

I first saw a performance of “It’s My Move” when I was a student on the Performing Arts course at Barnet and Southgate College in 2016. I was really drawn in by the show and little did I know what happen a few years later. After completing a BA in Inclusive Performance in 2022, I was invited to do an audition  in February 2025 for a role in the play by my personal tutor Cheryl Ferner- Reeves. This was when I  got to meet Ray and Sarah Jane at Face Front’s studio in Edmonton. I was overjoyed when they offered me the chance to join the “It’s My Move” 2025 tour. I joined the Bridge Group for a while to get to know everyone before the tour rehearsals started in October 2025, and was really impressed with the natural performance skills that Face Front inclusive theatre creates. On the tour I played Stanley who has a passion for drawing comics and super heroes but suffers from anxiety when his art teacher doesn’t approve of them. I was given other opportunities in the show as well, such as playing a mechanic who supports Sade fixing a car, which allowed to develop my own comedic way of performing to an SEN school. I really got on with the other actors, and Ray and Sarah Jane were always there to support me and the others. They really helped me with my enthusiasm about being an actor and I am very grateful to them for all of the opportunities that they gave me. I really enjoyed getting to interact with the students in the SEN schools where they would encourage Stanley not to give up on his dreams of drawing comics. It gave me a reason to wake up early every morning to travel to other schools and we even went to Brighton where we were just like a family all getting along and even doing outreach in two SEN schools there as well. I cannot thank Face Front Inclusive theatre for everything they have done for me especially to use the skills and knowledge from by BA at Chickenshed. I hope that I can be an inspiration to other young people out there who would like to perform like me and my advice would be never to give up hope and always follow your passion in the arts. Always express yourself as a character and maybe one day you will find yourself on stage.
