Verbatim Theatre Technique with Paul Kalburgi
- No reviews.
- The Bread & Roses Theatre
Description
Verbatim technique is a form of documentary theatre in which plays are constructed from the precise words spoken by people interviewed about a particular event or topic. This technique allows the playwright to create rich and authentic writing by capturing the natural rhythm of a contributor's speech and by absorbing the textures, sounds and fabric of a real life story.
In this two day workshop, playwright Paul Kalburgi offers insight into the practise of creating verbatim theatre, based on his verbatim plays The Countess (Blue Elephant Theatre, London, UK) and In The Tall Grass (Bishop Arts Theatre, Dallas, USA).
Paul will share his personal experience, tips and techniques; with the purpose of inspiring an immersive approach to playwriting through synergy with the world around us. The weekend will begin with an introduction to the technique, legalities and logistics of creating a verbatim play. Selected scenes from famous verbatim works will be screened and discussed and participants will also benefit from practical exercises and handouts.

The workshop runs over two days on Saturday 4th March 10am to 6pm and Sunday 5th March 11am to 4pm. Please note, there will be a short assignment to complete overnight between sessions
