Sponsored |Scotsman Fringe First 2017 Winner Javaad Alipoor talks about the return of the topical show ‘The Believers are but Brothers’

Just recently the internet celebrated its 30th Birthday; a phenomenon that has revolutionised the way in which we share and consume information. No longer are we solely dependent on the voices of mainstream tabloids and broadsheets; we’re now in control of where we consume our information from, whether that be from forums, video sharing sites, blogs or websites. With this growing phenomena of information sharing, we ourselves are capable of airing our perspectives and opinions to a mass audience in a matter of seconds; this now creating space for all sorts of voices to perpetuate their agendas. Ahead of the return of Scotsman’s Fringe First Award 2017 ‘The Believers Are But Brothers’, playwright Javaad Alipoor discusses the show’s addressing of this phenomena. An online world we once celebrated the beginnings of, now a Wild West of opinions ranging from the tame to the absolute inflammatory.

The Twilight Zone @ The Ambassadors Theatre Review

Anne Washburn’s theatrical adaptation of The Twilight Zone does not try to disguise itself from the original TV show’s iconic personality. The play is quirky, creepy, and funny as it fully embraces the over the top nature of its origins which inspired a plethora of recognisable Sci-Fi tropes.

Galvanise (Preview) @ The Vaults (Vault Festival 2019) Review

Friends are your family away from home; a network relied up and formed usually within our formative years. Often told secrets our own families are not aware of, friends are a great source of support, impacting positively towards our own mental health and well being. These are probably one of the strongest bonds we’ll form within our lives. Rascal Theatre‘s Galvanise celebrates this notion, the power of the friendship bond particularly during our teenage years.

Home, I’m Darling @ The Duke of York’s Theatre Review

Now in it’s third home, the Duke of York’s Theatre, (after being at Theatre Clwyd in Wales and London’s National Theatre), Laura Wade’s brilliant play entertains right from the off. Focusing on vintage nostalgia and the role of women in the contemporary day, Home, I’m Darling is a fascinating insight into hobby culture and the steps people take to achieve their dreams.

Video and Projection Designer Joshua Pharo talks about working on China Plate Theatre’s show ‘The Shape of Pain’

A6587CB6-BC7A-43A9-B4B6-10D7BA5BCB33

The Shape of Pain made its debut at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and went on to win a Fringe First Award. Since then, the show has received critical acclaim for its unique capturing of Director Rachel Bagshaw’s personal experiences of living with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). A crucial piece of theatre showcasing just how powerful the integration of technology can be, the show is a culmination of carefully crafted sound, lighting and video and projection design. Ahead of the show’s return to Wilton’s Music Hall before embarking on a UK tour, Theatre & Technology Award winning Video and Projection Designer Joshua Pharo discusses further about the show’s collaborative creative process.

Playwright Qianqian Chen talks about Reallusion Theatre’s UK debut of Safety Net at the Etcetera Theatre

IMG_1535
Relationships aren’t easy, particularly long distances ones. Trying to maintain a sense of connection is a tough ask, for some, lack of contact works, for others not so much; it’s dependent on the circumstances of the couple. We also have our own take on what it means to ‘belong’, a human need intrinsically and extrinsically fulfilled, or perhaps not. A state some finally find peace with, for some, something they continually search for. This also feeding into how we perceive our ‘cultural identities’, a factor shaping our daily experiences and how we view the world. Qianqian Chen’s non-linear narrative Safety Net explores these facets of daily life, a complex narrative presenting a series of ideas, created by a US and UK based collective of artists. Qianqian discussed further about the show’s UK premiere.

Ovalhouse Executive Producer Stella Kanu talks about this year’s #CONNECT: Black Women in Theatre event

Stella Kanu

We’re living in a time where changes within the industry are proving incredibly significant; conversations around making theatre accessible and a lot more diversified are greatly prominent. There’s a feeling that within the next few years that theatre will truly reflect its audience, both on and off stage. It’s a very exciting time and offers hope to many who perhaps wouldn’t have thought theatre was a space for them, due to the feeling of theatre being an elitist art form. Many initiatives are shaping our landscape, one of which – #CONNECT: Black Women in Theatre offers a space for black creatives within the theatre industry to contemplate various issues to further advocate change. Founder and Executive Producer of the initiative, Stella Kanu tells us more about the event’s second year!

Playwright and performer Lekhani Chirwa talks about the debut of her show Can I Touch Your Hair? at this year’s Vault Festival

Can I Touch Your Hair?

A topic receiving greater prominence within wider conversations is that of ‘cultural appropriation’; an issue regarding taking an aspect of a culture unfamiliar to an individual, an aspect of great significance and commodifying it for financial gain or trivialising it due to its aesthetic. Playwright Lekhani Chirwa explores this issue in her debut play Can I Touch Your Hair? Ahead of her 2 date performance at this year’s Vault Festival, Lekhani talks about the show’s themes, working with Ovalhouse, HerStory Festival and Blacktress prior to the Vault Festival and what audiences can expect.
