HOW
TO WRITE...THEATRE FOR CHILDREN
Thursday
1 October (2pm-5pm)
Friends
Meeting House
In
this workshop, Campbell Perry
will talk about the similarities and differences
between writing for adults and children and look
at ways of adapting a story into a piece of theatre
for primary aged children, with some examples.
The
workshop will centre around discussing what makes
some stories lend themselves to theatre, and how
settings , character and events combine to develop
story and plot.
There
will be a mix of talk, writing and practical activities,
so that everyone has an opportunity to explore
some of the ideas under discussion. And hopefully,
it will be fun as well!

PLAYING
WITH CONVENTION: DEVISING THEATRE
Saturday
5th September 2009 (10am-5pm)
Carran
Waterfield
Playing with Convention will explore
the relationship between the audience (spectator/participant)
and the actor (character/interpreter). It is an
opportunity to consider how theatre can be developed
and created through a non-scripted process. Participants
will have the opportunity to look at possibilities
within their own work to explore myths, rituals
and historical interpretations. Specifically the
workshops will explore the devising concept and
how a script can be developed using the actor’s
skills and processes.
Using
Triangle Theatre’s production of The Last
Women as an example, the workshop will examine
the creation of a performance that is neither
scripted nor non-scripted.
The Last Women interweaves historical reality
with the mythical, ritual and imagination. The
play is a powerful interpretation of the stories
of six condemned women. More information about
the show can be found at their website: www.lastwomen.co.uk
Carran Waterfield is the founder

GAMES
Saturday

Beijing
Map Games Exhibition, Gas Hall
Pictures
tell a thousand stories...
What's
yours?
Script,
in association with Birmingham Museums & Art
Gallery, presents five short plays written in
response to the Beijing Map Games Exhibition.
The
plays were selected following an open competition
in which writers were asked to draw inspiration
from the artworks on display.
The
artworks have been inspired by the rapid changes
that are influencing the appearance and map of
Beijing city. The writers have drawn on
individual exhibits to explore a personal interpretation
of themes of identity, freedom and the relationship
between culture and technology.
