As part of the development process for their new show, Orlando: A Pornobriography, Charli Cargill and Laurie Ward will facilitate a series of practical masterclasses on trans theatre-making and performance, intended to equip participants to create, rehearse, and perform new work in queer and experimental ways.
These hands-on, skill-building masterclasses will be of particular interest to students and members of the local community who are eager to learn how to devise and develop new creative work, explore embodiment on-stage and on-screen, and engage safely and sensitively with challenging topics, in conversation with a pair of field-leading industry professionals.
