MERMAIDS: Musical in a day workshop
SATURDAY 7th October
10 - 5pm (with a sharing at 4pm)
AMATA
Have you ever wondered how a musical is created? Come along and join us for a unique, day-long workshop where you’ll join a professional workshop process with theatre-makers, Jen Fletcher and Harry Blake, to learn and perform new parts of a brand new musical: Mermaids.
Mermaids is a warm-hearted comedy about a drama group in a remote Cornish Fishing Village. A feel-good show about teenage obsession, local politics, and our need for glitter in a world full of grey. The day will culminate with a performance to family and friends.
Workshop fee: £5 per person for ages 11-17. No previous experience necessary.
This event aims to provide places to young people who may not otherwise have opportunities to participate in musical theatre. The event has been highly subsidised in order to keep the cost of attending to a minimum. However, if the cost is an obstacle there are a small number of bursary funded places available.
This workshop is presented by Falmouth International Arts Festival, ImPOSSIBLE Producing & Sea Witch Theatre.
Critical Thinking:
Theatre Critics - Good, Bad, Ugly?
SATURDAY 7TH OCTOBER
10.30am
The Morgawr Falmouth
No-one likes a bad review but theres nothing like getting 5 stars to get the endorphins going. How do we make good art without honest feedback? What role does the theatre critic play? What about the audience? Controversial theatre director Matthew Dunster (2:22, Shirley Valentine and The Pillowman) kicks off what is likely to be a fruity conversation with imPOSSIBLE Producing Co- Directors Gabby and Charlie.
What do we need to succeed?
Free but bookable.
Running time - 1 hour
