  • Drama and Theatre
    Drama and Theatre You need to do three things to be a top quality dramatist – watch theatre, read plays and create. The more you do these three things, the more you will fall in love with theatre, deepen your appreciation and understanding of the art form and develop your ability to produce sophisticated pieces of theatre. Doing any of these will develop your knowledge and ability, but the top drama students find the balance between all three: Watching theatre is the best way a drama practitioner gets inspired and generates initial ideas. You will see things on stage which will make you think or feel a certain way; it may prompt a cathartic response, shock you or make you consider a topic in a completely new light. As practitioners, we are constantly stealing and adapting each other’s ideas to create great theatre. Reading plays gives you a deeper appreciation of the history and tradition of theatre. It also allows you to consider a story and imagine your own directorial, design and performance interpretations. The more you read, the more you exercise your imagination. Creating is crucial to actually applying and practising the skills and ideas you get from watching and reading theatre. You cannot be a top quality dramatist if you do not practise the craft. And the process works both ways. Watching theatre and reading plays will make you a more inspired and informed creator. But creating will also give you a deeper and richer appreciation of the plays you watch and read. Below, I have outlined 16 of my favourite plays, all of which have made an incredibly important cultural contribution to theatre history.

  • Introduction to Ecovenue Ecovenue Is a Signifi Cant Theatre-Specifi C Environmental Project Being Run by the Theatres Trust
    Introduction to Ecovenue Ecovenue is a signifi cant theatre-specifi c environmental project being run by The Theatres Trust. It aims to improve the environmental performance of forty-eight London theatres and raise awareness of how to make theatres greener. Ecovenue is promoting the sustainability of theatres and the reduction of carbon emissions through the provision of free theatre-specifi c, environmental advice. The project started in 2009 and runs until 2012. Forty-eight venues each undergo an Environmental Audit, and receive a Display Energy Certifi cate (DEC) and Advisory Report. They track their energy use through SMEasure. Each venue receives a second DEC a year after their fi rst to measure progress. Ecovenue includes a ‘DEC Pool’ of performing arts venues across the UK that have obtained DECs. The DEC Pool helps us to evaluate the project and share best practice and information, establish meaningful benchmarks, and provide a better understanding of energy use of theatres. Any theatre can join the DEC Pool. The Trust’s Theatres Magazine provides quarterly reports on the participants and the work of the Ecovenue project. The Theatres Trust Ecovenue project receives fi nancial support from the European Regional Development Fund.

  • Antigone-Programme.Pdf
    aod are a Brighton based theatre company with a vigorous passion to ‘make magic from myth’. We create fresh, bold and urgent interpretations of Classical Greek plays and develop new plays inspired by Greek mythology. We have a strong national and international profile and regularly tour our work. At the heart of our work is collaboration. We have recently embarked on the exciting adventure of working with new young writers and we offer a mentoring programme to emerging directors. This production is an example of the exciting new work we produce when such collaborations take place. We are passionate about providing opportunities for practitioners to develop their craft. We actively invest in and support promising individuals as they begin to develop their careers as theatre artists. An important aspect of our work is introducing young people to the Classics – particularly those who have never had any Classical education. Through our 25 years we have built up a wealth of experience and knowledge of both Classical Greek theatre and Greek myths. Our team of education experts have created a unique educational and outreach programme. This encompasses a wide range of workshops which we deliver to schools and colleges across Britain. Our workshops are unique, engaging and practical, allowing students to delve deeper into their work. We are able to tailor workshops to the needs of a particular class or to examination requirements. We are currently offering a special discount to school and college groups who have been to see Antigone.
