Playwrights Studio 2020/2021 WEXFORD PLAYWRIGHTS STUDIO 2020/2021 WORKS IN PROGRESS STAGE READINGS PROGRAMME P A G E 1 Wexford Arts Centre in association with County Wexford Arts Office is pleased to present WEXFORD PLAYWRIGHTS STUDIO 2021 WORKS IN PROGRESS STAGE READINGS DIRECTED BY BEN BARNES In 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic struck in March, Wexford Arts Centre announced an open call in association with County Wexford Arts Office for playwrights in Wexford to apply for a mentorship programme titled Wexford Playwrights Studio. The initiative was devised in association with Wexford Arts Centre's performance subcommittee member and local community theatre writer & director Carol Long and was supported by Liz Burns, Wexford County Council's Art Officer. The initiative was developed to support professional theatre development for playwrights in County Wexford. There were over 20 applications, and 8 very talented playwrights were chosen to participate in the programme. During the year the playwrights met by Zoom and in Wexford Arts Centre in compliance with COVID-19 H&S measures to work with lead mentor and renowned playwright Billy Roche and visiting acclaimed playwright and dramaturg mentors Deirdre Kinehan and Thomas Conway on the development of their proposed synopsis for plays into full production scripts. Leading international theatre director Ben Barnes came on board to direct the work in progress stage readings with a very fine cast of local and national professional actors who all committed to delivering stellar stage reading performances for each of these new plays. P A G E 2 Though we had hoped to produce these stage readings for a live audience due to current COVID-19 restrictions, we had to resort to recording these readings behind closed doors in compliance with H&S requirements. We had a very talented company of actors performing roles across the eight plays over two weeks. We give a virtual standing ovation to Ben Barnes, cast and crew and in particular videographer Ted Moran for making these recordings possible. Many thanks to Clayton Whites Hotel who supported our cast and production team with safe accommodation and meals. Also many thanks to Theatre Royal for their support with technical equipment. This initiative would not be possible as well without funding support from the Wexford County Council Arts Office, The Arts Council, and ongoing support from our sponsors, friends and donors. Despite COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, each of these eight playwrights have done tremendous work developing their plays from script to stage and no doubt will be of significant interest for literary managers and producers nationally and internationally to consider further for full production development. We congratulate each of these Wexford based playwrights and look forward to following their ongoing developments with pride. We hope you enjoy viewing these productions and thank you for your support of professional theatre development at Wexford Arts Centre.

The film is a co-production of Spitz Creative Media, the Advanced Visualization Lab at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, and Thomas Lucas Productions, Inc., in association with Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville, Georgia. According to Tim Florian Horn, Director of Zeiss-Großplanetarium: “Birth of Planet Earth looks at the very beginning of our planet and the unique requirements that enabled life to evolve. The new program helps us to develop a better understanding of the history of our very own existence on this pale blue dot we call home. It marks the beginning of a major program initiative focusing on the ‘System Earth’ at Zeiss-Großplanetarium in 2019.” Narrated by Richard Dormer (Game of Thrones, Fortitude) and distributed by Spitz, Inc. and Evans & Sutherland, Birth of Planet Earth is now available for booking by planetariums, museums and educational institutions. Birth of Planet Earth is the latest in a series of collaborations between Spitz, the AVL, and producer/director Thomas Lucas. It joins a library of successful prior collaborations, including Black Holes: The Other Side of Infinity, Dynamic Earth, and Solar Superstorms. According to Director Lucas, “Birth of Planet Earth allows us to successfully fuse high-end animation techniques from the team at Spitz Creative Media with supercomputer-produced scientific visualizations from the AVL.” Dr. Donna Cox, Director of the AVL since 2006, is a pioneer in the use of scientific data as a storytelling tool for television, fulldome, and IMAX documentaries.

It argues that the biopic is a necessary category because producers, reviewers and cinemagoers have significant investments in biographical subjects, and because biopics construct a ‘public history’ for a broad audience.
