Jordan and Skinner Theatre Company presents A Street Theatre Workshop and Performance

***NOW CANCELLED***

Jordan & Skinner are creating a street theatre performance to accompany our tour of The Time Machine and we want you to get involved!

If you would like to try a bit of outdoor performance, we will bring along some props, costumes and with a brief 1 hour workshop before hand, get you ready to go out on the streets with us to be part of the show!

This playful, engaging performance will take place around Argyll Gardens at 1.30pm to bring a little bit of the show to the wider public. Street theatre is a very democratic form of performance. It’s free, it’s open to everyone and you can just walk away if you don’t like it. We want to give as many people as possible the chance to engage with what we make and the piece will be creative, fun, thought provoking, family friendly and easy to engage with.

The workshop will be led by Jordan and Skinner’s Melanie Jordan: http://www.melaniecjordan.com. Melanie is a Gaulier trained performer, director and theatre maker based in Glasgow. Melanie is also a Physical Theatre Practitioner with Surge – supporting street arts, physical theatre and circus in Scotland – where she has directed, choreographed and performed in a number of their productions, as well as running Scotland’s largest street theatre festival, Surge Festival.

What to expect: This workshop is suitable for youth theatre participants, community drama group participants and the general public. No street theatre experience necessary!

Please wear comfortable clothes and footwear.

Recommended for Participatory Performers Age 12+

The performance piece will be family friendly and fun for all ages.

Please note that this workshop will take place at Hanover Street Hall before a performance at Argyll Gardens from 1.30pm.

The Time Machine: A Radical Feminist Retelling 

Showing at Dunoon Burgh Hall on Saturday 22 October at 7:30pm: https://www.dunoonburghhall.org.uk/product/the-time-machine-presented-by-jordan-and-skinner/

Award-winning feminist theatre company Jordan & Skinner present this radical retelling of The Time Machine. In a secret bunker, a group of feminists are taking matters into their own hands as they contemplate impending doom and ask if it is all too late to turns things around. Meanwhile, a traveller lands in the year 802,701 to discover the fate of future humans and tries to unravel how it all came down to this. Join this fiery and furious company of extremists for a tale of time travel, survival and human evolution in a bold and irreverent re-imagining of H. G. Wells science fiction classic.
