Event Details

Writing Site-Specific Theatre

Saturday 19th June 2010 (10am-5pm)

New Vic Theatre, Newcastle-under-Lyme

Led by Vanessa Oakes

 

From telephone boxes to abandoned warehouses, Site-Specific Theatre tests the boundaries of space, setting and audience expectations, to explore, excite and entertain. This one-day workshop will look at how stories can emerge from locations and how spaces can affect and alter the meaning of words. It will also explore how a playwright can gain access to 'alternative' spaces and what practical issues need to be considered in development and performance.

 

Vanessa Oakes has worked on a number of site-specific shows and her recent plays include; I Am Active (Red Teapot), The Kindness of Strangers (Warwick Words), Lost in Paradise CV6 (Belgrade Theatre), A Body Moving Through (The Estate), Live Like Us (Belgrade Theatre). Current projects include; a monologue for Paines Plough (Belgrade Theatre), dramaturg for The Piano Room (Symphony Hall, Birmingham) and a new play for Theatre in Action (Glasgow).

 

TENacity is supported by The National Lottery through Arts Council England and Shropshire County Council.
