Series 4: Ep 8: Bringing communities together with audio installation work
<p>This month Holly Barradell is in conversation with Anne Langford, co-creator of Helen Crevel’s original audio piece <em>Seedling</em> – that focuses on potential motherhood, environmental responsibility and consumerism – will be installed alongside a new audio piece for children and young people under 12. Housed in a specially designed space, audiences are once again invited inside to hear the piece, feeling like they are entering a domestic space, someone’s home, with the dome-like shape covered in textiles and fabrics. </p> <p>Co-created with Years 3 and 4 at Cottesmore Academy, Rutland, the project captures and amplifies intergenerational stories of multicultural family heritage. <em>Seedling </em>also aims to make discussion around the climate crisis more accessible and more easily understood.</p> <p>Follow these links to read more about content referred to in the interview:</p> <p> <a href="https://www.dramaturgy.co.uk/single-post/2016/02/18/interview-with-dramaturg-nina-steiger" target="_blank">https://www.dramaturgy.co.uk/single-post/2016/02/18/interview-with-dramaturg-nina-steiger</a></p> <p>Understanding Dramaturgy.</p> <p> A intro to the heroine's journey <a href="https://heroinejourneys.com/heroines-journey/" target="_blank">https://heroinejourneys.com/heroines-journey/</a> Ira Glass on developing Taste and creativity: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbC4gqZGPSY&t=5s" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbC4gqZGPSY&t=5s</a> The Virgins promise, the starting point for Cub <a href="https://diymfa.com/writing/virgins-promise-part-one/" target="_blank">https://diymfa.com/writing/virgins-promise-part-one/</a> </p> <p>Finally, read more about Carbon Theatre and the project here: <a href="https://www.carbontheatre.org.uk/seedling" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.carbontheatre.org.uk/seedling</a> </p>
