CHARACTER INCUBATION: FINDING YOUR VOICE

Saturday 18th July, 2009 (10am-5pm)

Where do characters come from?  How do you create, develop and nurture a 3-dimensional, believable individual and give them a voice that will transcend the page?  Storyteller Malika Booker will take you through the process of exploring and building characters in script and performance using practical exercises and examples from existing dramatic monologues.

Venue: The Birmingham Repertory Theatre

Cost: £50 (£45 concessions)

SCRIPT GAMES

Saturday 22nd November, 1pm

Beijing Map Games Exhibition, Gas Hall

Pictures tell a thousand stories...

What's yours?

Script, in association with Birmingham Museums & Art Gallery, presents five short plays written in response to the Beijing Map Games Exhibition. 

The plays were selected following an open competition in which writers were asked to draw inspiration from the artworks on display.

The artworks have been inspired by the rapid changes that are influencing the appearance and map of Beijing city.  The writers have drawn on individual exhibits to explore a personal interpretation of themes of identity, freedom and the relationship between culture and technology.
