invisible theatre opportunity..

Quarantine in partnership with greenroom, Manchester

“How to be invisible…”

Summer School
14-19 July 2008

A six-day workshop on bringing the practice of everyday life into performance.

Over the past 10 years, Quarantine has made a series of performances in which we work with both trained and untrained performers (“experts in everyday life”) to create theatre where there is the smallest of gaps between performer and material, and between performer and audience.

From Monday 14th to Saturday 19th July 2008, Quarantine will host a summer school at greenroom, Manchester. The workshop week will share and expose some of Quarantine’s strategies for making performance and experiment with some new ideas.

The week will focus on ways in which the artist might absent themselves from their own work – perhaps creating structures, rules, provocations and tactics for an audience to respond to, rather than presenting fixed or finished material. The week also includes a series of presentations by other artists supported by and associated with greenroom. The summer school will end with a sharing of work to an invited audience.

The workshop is open to all, irrespective of artform background. We would like to work with a group that is diverse – culturally, socially and creatively, as well as in levels of experience. For more information and to download an application form please visit www.qtine.com

The deadline for applications is Monday 19 May.
