ISTA present...
London (4) IB workshop 2018 - Cat 3
October 11 - October 13, 2018
Type
DP Theatre Category 3 – Teaching theatre traditions and practices
Master classes
Participants will take part in a series of master classes exploring two world theatre traditions.
Theatre
All participates will attend two professional theatre productions.
The first is a specially commissioned performance by Trestle Theatre Company titled ‘Rachel’ (currently in production). ISTA students and teachers will be the first to see this performance which incorporates full mask and clowning and is about the life of Mrs Rachel Levy, a holocaust survivor. We aim to create a Legacy for survivors, refugees and victims of hate crimes past and present by working creatively with Rachel Levy and her story – https://www.trestle.org.uk/current-projects
The second is ‘Everybody’s Talking about Jamie’ at the Apollo Theatre – Once upon a time, there was a 16-year-old boy who had a secret he wanted to tell…
So, he approached a documentary filmmaker as you do, and asked if they would help him tell it. The resulting documentary was seen by a theatre director and it inspired him to create a musical. A producing regional theatre backed him. He then bumped into a famous musical theatre star who introduced him to a well-known pop composer who was working with a lyricist and book writer. The theatre put on the production. A major producer saw it and offered them a West End theatre – http://www.everybodystalkingaboutjamie.co.uk
