RA PLAYS FESTIVAL 2018

3/5/2018

I am a huge fan of collaboration. Creating a piece of theatre from scratch goes through many phases: 1. Where do we start?? 2. An idea organically emerges and everyone is buzzing! 3. Ideas come flooding in from every member of the ensemble...we have enough material for a 12-part series! 4. Cutting back to the core of the piece- what are the main themes we are exploring? Structure it scene by scene. 5. Scripting the piece to include layers of sub-text and a satisfying journey for every single character/actor. 6. Do you think we'll be allowed to cover the whole stage in dirt...?? (I admit this stage was specific to 'The Void') 7. Intense rehearsals! 8. Group warm-up...and you're on!  9. Feeling chuffed that you've created something from nothing, and let a few ideas simmer in the audience's minds... 10. Celebrate at Wagamamas!

Here are a handful of stills from 'The Void' (A claustrophobic dystopian world inside the head of a man in a coma); 'Hamdram' (A comedy about an unlikely group of people putting on a very serious play...); and 'Kenopsia' (A thriller about an underground network of criminals, trying to escape from the web they have weaved).

If you are interested in joining us to create more weird/fun/thought-provoking theatre then get in touch, come meet the group and try out a session!
