THEATRE 180: Workshop

VOICE FROM THE PAST: Creating Oral History Projects

With 28 years’ experience in creating theatre works based on oral and recorded histories, award-winning THEATRE 180 will guide you through the process of researching and crafting a story for theatrical retelling in a fun-filled and enlightening workshop.

Join Founding and Current Artistic Directors Jenny Davis OAM and Stuart Halusz, with special guest, Stage Designer Neil Sheriff, as they work with you to explore aspects of the extensive Collection at WA Museum Boola Bardip, for inspiration and provide you with an accessible toolkit to delve into your own creativity and imagination to bring the stories from our past to life.

This informative, interactive and practical workshop is ideal for:
• Theatre Makers
• Drama Teachers
• People interested in their own family history

• Practical toolkit for researching and recording Oral Histories for theatre
• Q&A with THEATRE 180 Creatives, Producers and Actors
