Description
The Young Audiences Project is designed to incubate a new theatre work that is devised, performed and designed by members of the graduating class at The Centre for Theatre Dance & Performance Studies. The brief for this ensemble project for young audiences has been for the students to use the techniques of graphic storytelling to generate a work in the comic book style through three different comic book genres: Noir, Western and Kung-Fu! The project consists of three, 20-miunte pieces in one programme: 'Mang-Who? A Tale of Two Brothers', 'Dog Days in Sunnyville' and 'Once Upon a Mine in the West'. Each group has wildly adapted the same source text, closely consulted the rich world of African comics, and worked largely independently to craft their own unique stories in their chosen genre, to bring those stories to life in this heightened physical theatre form. The pieces have been made in collaboration with the 4th year Theatre Makers, Scenographers and Honours students as stage managers and designers and technicians in the set, costume, lights and AV departments.
