The Site - Temporary space at The Royal Court

[Deleted]

Just announced and tix already on sale - royalcourttheatre.com/Season/the-site/

Our Associate Designer, Chloe Lamford is curating a temporary theatre space at the Royal Court.



She is offering us an invitation; an experiment in design, collaboration and process.



She has designed a space where language, form, the body and instructions are the materials and where both artists and audiences are invited to rethink how we create, present, and watch plays.



This series of works is an experiment, exploring performance through language, physicality and the power of the imagination, created by five playwrights in response to Chloe Lamford’s provocation.

Whatever that means.

Well, I've bought a ticket for "A new work by Nathaniel Martello-White" to see what is going on. Let's hope it proves interesting!

That was the one that caught my eye too.
Having enjoyed Torn helped.
Not sure about these though...

Yes, it's a bit speculative. Take "It's All Made Up" by Deborah Pearson: "Deborah has been asked to write a made up story that takes place in a real life place – The Site. Deborah will only start making up the story as soon as she first walks into the Site, always writing from and in The Site. She hopes that what ends up being performed is a string of pathological lies and made up magic." I'll write it when I get there is a bit of a gamble.

The fact there's only one Saturday with any performances means I can't make any of these. Unless they are announcing more dates later (they mention a second ticket release on 2nd May - not sure if that means more performances or more tickets to these performances)

I've seen works in progress at the Royal Court before and had a great time. With such a short run, you can entice some pretty great cast members. I'm sure I've even seen some in the site in question. The plays (or whatever they are) all sound intriguing, I'm only sorry I have no availability during the period these are on.

Also sounds intriguing, 'A new work by Theresa Ikoko'

“From creators Chloe Lamford and Theresa Ikoko comes The Site, the brand new, state-of -the-art venue of The Space Between.

The final level.

What’s next?”

Sounds a lot like audience participation, which straight away puts my back up, but it does sound interesting...
