The workshop is mainly for actors but is open to singers, musicians and dancers. Conducted by Jeff Tiere and Simon Turley from the UK, it will look at devising short pieces on current biomedical science issues as reported in the Indian media. It will look at attitudes to ‘science’ and ‘art’ and at the process the company has gone through, to arrive at their professional productions and the scripts involved – ‘Seeing Without Light’ by Simon Turley and ‘Still Life’ by Charles Way. They will also bring a draft of  ‘Sleeping Beauties’ – the script that they are currently working on.

This is not a basic skills workshop and is meant for performers of some experience. Please send in your application with a short CV of yourself to the ID below.  Only 20 participants: so apply early.

Set in the US in the swinging 20′s era of jazz, power and money, Chicago put the razzle dazzle back in the musical era. “Chicago” is the tale of two female stars, one fading, the other about to be born, jostling for limelight in the city’s named murderers row. The actors shift adroitly from the reality of intrigue, rivalry and betrayal to fantasies of music and dance, offering tougue-in-cheek commentary on the cult of celebrity and the scandalous lengths to which people will go to attain it. Get ready for some brilliant choreography and hit numbers such as ‘All That Jazz’, ‘When You’re Good To Mama’ and ‘Cell Block Tango’.

The musical performance is a tribute to the movie, which by itself presents a challenge for presenting it in a theatrical style format.
