This is Open Drama UK's monthly podcast created for Theatre and Drama educators by people in the know from Feb 2021 to May 2024. The episodes formed part of a package of support provided by Open Drama UK for teachers, theatre educators & industry experts to advance, improve & benefit young people through Drama. ODUK closed in December 2024 but the content remains accessible to support those who may want to listen.
We are thrilled to have been in conversation this month with Sam Marsden. Sam has recently published a couple of books to support Drama teachers and theatre practitioners within the rehearsal room/classroom studio.
We've reviewed the books on our blog and you can read more here: https://opendramauk.org/2024/05/07/878/ (https://opendramauk.org/2024/05/07/878/)

Series 4: Ep 8: Bringing communities together with audio installation work
This month Holly Barradell is in conversation with Anne Langford, co-creator of Helen Crevel’s original audio piece Seedling – 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.
Co-created with Years 3 and 4 at Cottesmore Academy, Rutland, the project captures and amplifies intergenerational stories of multicultural family heritage. Seedling also aims to make discussion around the climate crisis more accessible and more easily understood.
