In this all-day participatory theatre event, participants will ‘test’ and workshop new material written by award-winning poet Tawona Sithole to produce a short performance at the end of the day. This material is part of an emerging play around the role that language and the creative arts play in our lives.

Tawona is developing the play for the Researching Multilingually at Borders research project at the University of Glasgow. The material workshopped on the day will go on to inform a collaborative performance between the project team and the School of Performing Arts, University of Ghana in late summer 2016.

The performance workshop is free, informal and open to everybody. No previous acting experience required but you must be willing to GET INVOLVED! The day is split into three parts (morning workshop, afternoon rehearsal and performance) and participants are required to attend the full day. Lunch will be provided.

We aim to ensure that people have equal access to public events.

As our Festival events are free, not everyone who asks for tickets comes to our events. To make sure we have a full house we allocate more tickets than there are seats. We do our best to get the numbers right, but unfortunately we occasionally have to disappoint people. Admission is on a first come, first served basis, so please arrive in good time for the start of the event.
