Wide Open includes the following afternoon and evening free events in the Gallery
Monday, July 19, 2010 WIDE OPEN PART ONE:
Tuesday 13th July 3pm – 5.30pm
Interactive performance workshop by the Studio Upstairs performance group using Playback Theatre method. Playback is simple - audience members tell stories from their lives and the actors improvise and act out (play back) the story. Stories may be funny or tragic, "trivial" or life changing, themes may develop, or the show may contain a roller-coaster variety of stories.
Playback is the theatre of the unexpected. It takes the audience on a journey through each others' hearts and minds. Surprising stories spring into magical life, words are made flesh and the everyday brings forth epics.
