AU BRANA RESIDENCY 2012
11 – 31 JULY
Through the month of July Au Brana proposes an intensive investigation of theatre craft led by the members of OBRA theatre Co. in association with two innovative and experienced theatre makers, Jonathan Grieve and Kasia Zaremba-Byrne.
Guided by highly regarded international practitioners, this work session offers a rare opportunity for artists to be propelled by an ensemble whilst enriching their individual creative practice in an environment created to support artistic endeavor.
These weeks are directed at performance practitioners with an interest in theatre training and devising. The springboard for the generation of material will be the concept of “metamorphosis”. This stimulus will provide the framework for the three diverse approaches represented by the practitioners with each week’s focus for exploration being guided from a different viewpoint. Each participant is asked to propose a text response to the theme and will enter a period of guided research and exploration as part of an original creative ensemble. The month will culminate in a public sharing. A disposition for a full physical engagement is advised.
The residency is limited to 15 participants, all of whom will live and work on-site at Au Brana, a formerly ruined farm now transformed into a tranquil and focussed creative environment.
The fee for the workshop is €750.00 with an early bird discount price of €700 if you book and confirm your place with a deposit before the 15th February.
Places are limited and a deposit of €200 is required to reserve a place before 1st April 2011. Participants will be considered based on the completion of the application form and are required to pay 50% of the total cost before arrival. Only applications for the full residency will be considered.
