Faces in the City
We are in a city.
Huge skyscrapers tower overhead.
Strangers rush by us on unknown but important errands.
Everything ticks or beeps or grinds or squeals or shouts or rings or startles.
How do you survive in a place like this?
At the end of Term 2, the general workshop company presented a wide variety of pieces centering around themes of the emotional disconnection, power struggles and moments of fear that can be part of living in a massive city. Some lighter works explored escape from potentially stifling city life through the actions of benevolent heroes, supportive friends, or even ourselves. Life in a city can be dark and gloomy, but it can also be a fertile environment for self-reliance, bravery, and strong, lasting friendship.
Congratulations & Thankyou to all involved.. It was a great night of original theatremaking and short film screenings.
Can’t wait to see what is uncovered in Term 3 (July 27 – September 19)
