CPR has invited some of the most exciting and diverse Wales-based and international theatre directors to Aberystwyth for an intensive participatory project that offers a rare opportunity for both experienced and emerging directors to gather and share the methods, approaches and skills of professional directing practice.
Guest Directors Include:
Veenapani Chawla (Adishakti Centre, India), Das Beckwerk (Denmark), Jaroslaw Fret (Teatr ZAR, Poland), Richard Gregory (Quarantine, UK), Bill Hamblett (Small World Theatre, Wales), Natalie Hennedige (Cake Theatre, Singapore), Adrian Jackson (Cardboard Citizens, UK), Ruth Kanner (Ruth Kanner Theatre Group, Israel), Anuradha Kapur (National School of Drama, India), Julian Maynard Smith (Station House Opera, UK), John McGrath (National Theatre of Wales), Philip McKenzie (Sherman Theatre Cymru), Anders Paulin (Sweden), Mike Pearson (Pearson/Brookes, Wales), Ralf Richardt Strøbech (Hotel Pro Forma/ Loop Group, Denmark), Tore Vagn Lid (Transiteatret-Bergen, Norway).
From Fri 9th - Sun 11th April and Fri 16th -Sun 18th April the Directors’ Forum comprises a series of evolving and developing practical investigations (not simply workshops and training exercises) in two, three-day blocks that allow small groups of directors to explore know-how, intuition and embodied practices in a safe and intimate atmosphere. In addition informal evening presentations will offer a chance to view the work of guest directors, hear their vision for performance and theatre and gain a glimpse of their technique and approach.
Following the intensive six days of laboratories, practical investigations and expositions, the ‘Directors Forum’ concludes with two-and-a half days of encounters to: draw together elements of the practical investigations; launch further enquiry, provocation and interrogation; encourage discussion and debate; platform several key speakers and international guests who will create illuminating contemporary and historical perspectives on the director’s role and offer case studies from other nations that have echoes of the geographic, demographic and bi-lingual complexity of Wales. In particular, this two day conclusion to the Directors Forum will gather constructive proposals for future programmes of training and development within the theatre in Wales and the UK and enable a space for aspirational and inspirational vision.
