Red Chair Physical Theatre Workshop And Performance
This ticket is for the physical theatre workshop 16th June and includes ticket to the Red Chair performance on 19th June
Moving Stories Workshop
In this workshop Clod Ensemble’s Artistic Director Suzy Willson will share some of the ideas and processes that go into finding a movement language for a text based performance such as The Red Chair.
Drawing on French theatre teacher Jacques Lecoq’s ideas about physicalit, this workshop will touch on illustrative movement, character, and genre as well as the role that music has to play in illuminating a narrative.
Participants are invited to bring a story with them that they wish to tell, this could be something they have written, an existing fairy tale, or a section of a novel.
This workshop will be relevant to people interested in theatre, live art, dance and spoken word performance. Participants will also be invited to a performance of The Red Chair.
Red Chair
The Red Chair is a surreal ballad populated with larger than life characters, told in rich and saucy Scots dialect which draws the audience into the extraordinary world of a troubled family ,with a dram of whisky to help along the way.
A contemporary take on folk and fairytale storytelling traditions, The Red Chair tells the story of a father who eats and eats until he turns into the chair he is sitting upon, the wife doomed to cook his meals and their 'inveesible' daughter.
By turns haunting and humorous, The Red Chair takes audiences on a journey through a landscape of twisted reason, extreme compulsion and eye watering complacency, where domestic drudgery happens on an operatic scale and a father’s dereliction of duty reaches epic proportions.
