This week I shall be giving you the hoe down throw down on
what this year’s Rep Company are up to so far!
Four weeks in and the Rep Company have explored many Theatre
types such as Children’s Theatre, verbatim Theatre and this week’s session of
Scripted Theatre. Exploring all these interesting types of theatre is allowing
the Rep company choose an amazing type for this year’s show which they will
take up to Edinburgh fringe festival.
The Verbatim Theatre workshop had the company acting as each
other and exploring real life people and their mannerisms. It also had the
company tackling some real hard issues such as Missing people, Cyber bulling
and Child abuse and neglect.
Well the Children’s Theatre workshop led the company
creating a life like elephant, a waterfall, a box of toys, a bag of hissing snakes
and a full on circus just out of a bag of material.
This week’s session of scripted theatre went just great with
the company exploring and performing playwrights such as Whole by Philip
Osment, After Juliet by Sharman Macdonald and Road by Jim Cartwright. It also
had the Company working together as a big group and turning the prologue of
Romeo and Juliet into a stunning Choral Piece.
As you can probably see the Rep Company are well on their
way to creating another amazing piece of Theatre ready for Edinburgh Fringe
Festival. Tune in again soon for more of what the Rep Company are doodling.
