Residency
The artists will work with students over the
course of 5 days, to create an original piece
of site-specific theatre inspired by the
stories, sounds, history, and architecture of
their school. Using devising techniques the
company uses in their own original work,
students will create and perform a series of
short pieces in and around the school,
including classrooms, hallways and other
available spaces.
