We are looking forward to opening up our creative processes and ways of generating material in this workshop.

Hannah Greyson-Gaito	Lanchester Gallery		6-6:30pm			An open space divided by a proscenium arch of paper cranes. On one side, chairs of various types are scattered. On the other, the chalk outlines of people show how closely packed John and Tarek were. The audience members enter and are lead individually around the space whilst being told stories, either from the performer’s life or about one of the prisoners supported by Amnesty International. Eventually they are lead to a chair. The piece ends with the lone performer reciting Niemoller’s poem “First they came…”.  (more info and pictures can be found at https://remotecreations.org.uk/?p=66 )
Performance Installation work Choreographers: Amber Davies and Ellen BoothComposer: David Gurney Music: Four Movements Through Space	Ellen Terry:230		6:30-7pm			The choreography explores process revealed and embedded in performance. The initial impetus for the work revolved around ideas surrounding authenticity, rawness, improvisation and immediacy in creating and performing. The presentational form blends an edited arrangement of digital documentary footage, taken from our rehearsal process together with live responses in music and dance. The performance space is altered to create an onstage installation of TVs, flanked by opposite rows of seats. These serve as the frame and the context for the live interventions by the choreographers, the composer and the digital media.
