reinvention

Hi!

My first example is of a company called Remain in the Light; I thought their new project, a reinvention of Waiting for Godo sounded fascinating. I feel they really wanted to ‘make’ work for a purpose, but with a consciousness of the original piece to make it relevant for audiences today. I also emailed the company and they replied with a lovely email beginning to give me an insight into their way of working but they said anyone would be welcome to email them questions…

My second discovery was of Theatre Encounter I thought their work was practically interesting because of their strong relationship to discovery through movement, with suddenly I realized is such timeless and also time specific language. Their next project is Everyman. “The core of the theatre is an encounter. [Grotowski] Smash. Recuperate. Drill again. We are the beginning and you are the end. Today we may be us, but tomorrow we may be you. The horror. The horror.”

I also first watched the revisit of this program which I found on the BBC iplayer but this is a link to the original program about Bulgaria’s Abandoned Children. I found it so incredibly overwhelming that I decided to use it as my world event but I thought it might be of interest in relation to the theme of child abuse in general….
