Amazing to be invited to the base of the fantastic FOCO Europa company - in A Guarda, Spain - to work on a variety of verbatim theatre techniques (mainly headphone) with their wonderful actors. Haven't laughed so much in ages - traipsing through topics from fantasies to nightmares, gossip to sex-lines - or eaten so much ice cream.
MR WROE'S VIRGINS by Jane Rogers
Had a fantastic time developing and directing this piece = which I have been fascinated by for many years - with a superb and committed group of young actors from Manchester School of Theatre, as one of their graduating performances. Mr Wroe's Virgins (2024) – Manchester School of Theatre (mmu.ac.uk) Excellent to be working in Ireland again - alongside Crooked House and FOCO from Spain - on Verbatim Theatre for their Mouth Off initiative. Trip coincided with a car explosion in the local McDonald's drive in - which formed a good, dramatic subject matter for our work ;)
Thrilled to be part of the Seen And Heard site-specific theatre residencies in Isparta, Turkey this August. Working alongside some amazing groups and organisations- Crooked House from Ireland, FOCO from Spain, Kinitiras and Novus Amke from Greece, plus Ritual Mobil Theatre Laboratory from Azerbaijan - we'll be mixing up and creating some site-responsive theatre pieces within the environs of the Süleyman Demirel University in Isparta.
