Andrew Haydon, Views from the Gods Little Soldier was founded in 2010 to promote innovative cross-cultural artistic collaborations. We use physical comedy, devising techniques and live music to produce funny yet touching shows, exploiting our Spanish backgrounds and English setting to create an individual take on new writing and classic texts. The company is led by actresses Patricia Rodríguez and Mercè Ribot, supported by producer Bridget Floyer. Little Soldier has toured extensively in the UK and internationally in Warsaw, Madrid and New York. Their work has been critically acclaimed by public and press, including The Stage, Time Out and Exeunt. Previous show ‘You and Me’ was awarded an Argus Angel at the Brighton Fringe 2014 and ‘The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha’ received the Stage Award for Acting Excellence at the Edinburgh Fringe 2014. About the production An unpretentious, inventive and smartly silly delight. An award winning tongue-in-cheek treatment of Cervantes novel. Donald Hutera, Exeunt Magazine With a three-quarters Spanish, three-quarters female and a token English Bloke, Little Soldier sets of to re-enact one of the most influential works of world literature. Their mammoth task would be easier if any of the following were true: they’d read the book, had enough actors or heeded the warnings of Terry Gilliam. This critically acclaimed production continues to have the company’s trademarks: combination of languages, live music by the hand of Spanish classic guitarist Maria Camahort and physical comedy. In this occasion, they present a truly engaging and hilarious show that has been charming audiences across the UK and abroad.

Tour presented by house. 4 Contact: Rebecca Targett [email protected] 07701021424[Type here] Audiences Target audience Audiences interested in classic text, especially Don Quixote New and contemporary theatre work attendees, particularly comic/physical/devised theatre with international cast members– past attendees of Peepolykus, The Plasticine Men, Told by an Idiot, Complicite, Gonzo Moose, Theatre ad Infinitum, Spymonkey and Snuff Box Theatre. The Spanish communities and lovers of Classical Spanish music. Theatre and Performing Arts students from GCSE to BTEC performing arts house has placed the show within their ‘A Night Out’ audience development strand. For more traditional ‘dinner and a show’ audiences, shows might be of classic texts or recognisable titles, and offer more traditional production values (sets, costumes etc) or explore more universal themes. Audiences in the A Night Out strand: Aligning the target audiences with the 2014 Audience Spectrum from the Audience Agency, we identified the following segments: Commuterland Culturebuffs (higher engaged): Affluent suburban and greenbelt consumers of culture as part of their social lives, particularly prevalent in the South East region. Interested in high-quality artistic experiences and have broad creative tastes Dormitory Dependables (medium engaged): Regular but not frequent attenders living in city suburbs and small towns, with more traditional tastes but could be persuaded to take risks Home & Heritage (medium engaged): Conservative and mature households who have a love of the traditional. This group is suspicious of advertising, with word of mouth being preferred Up Our Street (lower engaged): Reasonably comfortably off households, occasional audiences for popular arts & entertainment, museums and heritage sites. Print newspapers are widely read, and this group prefer events with community ties. Example marketing tactics: Local press and radio coverage with cast to introduce the production through traditional media channels Playing theatre trailers ahead of any NT Live showings in the venue Poster advertising to community areas such as sports centres and amateur dramatics groups 5 Contact: Rebecca Targett [email protected] 07701021424[Type here] Engaging audiences We will regularly update our social media content, running competitions and a journal following the company on tour – aimed at younger audiences and festival/fringe goers. Use Spanish institutions distribution channels (emailing lists and web advertisements) to reach Spanish communities and enthusiasts of the Iberian culture and music. We will target local and regional press with a PR campaign which will have a special focus on previews. Offering workshops to local schools and drama societies. Running ticket offers through competitions on local media in conjunction with the venue. Offering Q&A on Little Soldier’s creative process, style and language use. Selling the show USP A female led, fresh, dynamic and irreverent take on the Cervantes classic. A winning combination of stage technique and audience inclusion. Content of the show Two Spaniards and an Englishman re-enact some of the episodes of Miguel de Cervantes Don Quixote, with the company’s characteristic wit, humor, and playfully imaginative outlook. Expect clown, physical comedy, puppetry and Spanish Classic guitar. This production also has diversity of languages. The company is committed to the production of innovative and vibrant professional theatre that entertains and engages the audience throughout. Selling points Contributes to the celebration of the multicultural artistic scene. Funny and engaging, with direct address and some level of audience interaction Fast paced, quick witted and universally comic 6 Contact: Rebecca Targett [email protected] 07701021424[Type here] Award-wining Spanish Classical guitarist featured in the show Broad audience

  • Eugenie Pastor-Phd Thesis Moving Intimacies
    MOVING INTIMACIES: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF “PHYSICAL THEATRES” IN FRANCE AND THE UNITED KINGDOM EUGÉNIE FLEUR PASTOR ROYAL HOLLOWAY, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON DEPARTMENT OF DRAMA AND THEATRE A Thesis submitted as a partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Ph.D. August 2014 1 DECLARATION OF AUTHORSHIP I, Eugénie Fleur Pastor, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: 7 August 2014 2 ABSTRACT This thesis is an exploration of movement in contemporary “physical theatres”. I develop a renewed understanding of “physical theatres” as embodied framework to experience both spectatorship and theatre-making. I analyse how, in this type of performance, movement blurs distinctions between the intimate and the collective, the inside and the outside, thus challenging definitions of intimacy and tactility. The thesis consists of a comparative study of examples of “physical theatres”, in the 21st century, in France and in the UK. The comparison highlights that “physical theatres” practitioners are under-represented in France, a reason I attribute in part to a terminological absence in the French language. The four case studies range from itinerant company Escale and their athletic embodiment of a political ideal to Jean Lambert-wild’s theatre of “micro-movement”, from Told by an Idiot’s position in a traditional theatre context in the UK to my own work within Little Bulb Theatre, where physicality is virtuosic in its non- virtuosity. For each case study, I use a methodology that echoes this exploration of movement and reflects my position within each fieldwork.

  • Royal Shakespeare Company Returns to London's Roundhouse.Pdf
    Royal Shakespeare Company returns to London’s Roundhouse from November 2010 with 10 week season • One company of 44 actors playing 228 roles • Six full-scale Shakespeare productions • Two Young People’s Shakespeares – innovative, distilled productions adapted for young people • Education projects across London and at the Roundhouse • One specially constructed 750-seat thrust stage auditorium – bringing audiences closer to the action – in one iconic venue Following its hugely successful, Olivier award-winning Histories Season in 2008, the RSC returns to London’s Roundhouse in November 2010 to present a ten-week repertoire of eight plays by Shakespeare – six full-scale productions and two specially adapted for children and families. This is the first chance London audiences will have to see the RSC’s current 44-strong ensemble, who have been working together in Stratford-upon-Avon since January 2009. The RSC Ensemble is generously supported by The Gatsby Charitable Foundation and The Kovner Foundation. The season opens with Rupert Goold’s production of Romeo and Juliet and runs in repertoire to 5 February next year, with Michael Boyd’s production of Antony and Cleopatra; The Winter’s Tale directed by David Farr; Julius Caesar directed by Lucy Bailey; As You Like It, directed by Michael Boyd; and David Farr’s King Lear (see end of release for production details at a glance). All six productions have been developed throughout their time in the repertoire and are revised and re-rehearsed with each revival in Stratford, Newcastle, London and finally for next year’s residency in New York. The season also includes the RSC’s two recent Young People’s Shakespeare (YPS) productions created especially for children and families, and inspired by the Stand Up For Shakespeare campaign which calls for more children and young people to See Shakespeare Live, Start Shakespeare Earlier and Do Shakespeare on their Feet – Hamlet, directed by Tarell Alvin McCraney, and The Comedy of Errors (in association with Told by an Idiot), directed by Paul Hunter.
