Curious Seed's BackChat with Tony Graham
Event Information
Description
BackChat open table discussion for arts practitioners
Saturday 30 September, Edinburgh
Speaker: Tony Graham (TAG Theatre, Unicorn Theatre)
Hosted by Curious Seed, BackChat is a facilitated series of informal 'open table' discussions for arts practitioners, featuring a range of guests who have inspired and influenced Christine Devaney’s artistic practice over the course of her career. The format begins with an invited speaker who shares their personal creative journey; they will then pose one question to those attending to open the wider discussion. Speakers are invited from diverse backgrounds and disciplines, attendees are welcome from a range of creative fields and networks; and we are absolutely delighted that the speaker for our first BackChat session will be Tony Graham.
Tony has enjoyed a hugely successful career as a director and practitioner specialising in theatre for young people. From 1997 to 2011 he was Artistic Director of the Unicorn Theatre (London), the leading theatre for young audiences, where he oversaw the £14.9million development of an award-winning new purpose-built venue for young audiences; prior to this, he was Artistic Director of TAG Theatre (Glasgow). Twice invited to direct for the Edinburgh International Festival, he had a smash hit with Sunset Song in 1993 and is now a highly acclaimed independent director and teacher with many international credits to his name.
Come and join us for a lively conversation and some light refreshments.
