Performing Artists Residency Weekend (January 2008)
Lung Ha’s Theatre Company’s annual Performing Artists Residency brings together performers from all over Scotland to work with professional artists and theatre practitioners to explore new ways of creating theatre and performance.
In Words? (March 2006)
In Words? was a day seminar which examined and discussed different methods involved in the process of writing a play for an ensemble company and, in particular, one specialising in working with actors with a learning disability. The aim of the day was to provide new tools and skills for playwrights with an interest in this specialist field of writing.
Intransit (June 2005)
Intransit was a day’s event featuring a live dance performance as well as film screenings of ‘There’s Something You Should Know’ and ‘The Thing to Remember is this is Balance’; as well as various talks and discussions. This took place at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh and marked the end of Something You Should Know.
Something You Should Know (SYSK) (Nov 2003 - June 2004)
Something You Should Know was a performance and video project that enabled people with a learning disability to work closely with dance, drama and video specialists; to create a series of artworks that reflected individual and collective experiences. Four SYSK workshop programmes were developed in Linlithgow, Livingston, Musselburgh and Perth.
Dramaworks (2001-2003)
Students graduated from a programme called Leading Drama Workshops to Dramaworks. Dramaworks was a programme that enabled Company Members to put their leadership skills into practice. Drama workshops and events - led by Company Members - took place across Scotland.
Leading Drama Workshops (1998-2000)
Leading Drama Workshops was a two-year training programme for adults with learning disabilities, with experience of drama, to lead drama workshops. Students covered a range of topics, including Group and Leadership skills, Drama Games and Exercises, Voice and Rhythm, Devising and Directing.
Lung Ha’s Theatre Company also runs workshop and training programmes to suit the interests of individuals and groups throughout Scotland. If you would like to find out more about our education and outreach work, please contact Lung Ha’s.
