Talawa talk theatre
Have been busy and tired and I think I’ve caught another cold.
Had little energy for blog thoughts, they have flitted in out and out. Like the judge in the Da Vinci Code case putting a code in his judgement. I thought that was funny.
Anyway, here is something to go to if you are interested in “non-white” theatre. Or I guess I could say Black, but I think in its widest posssible meaning.
Talawa Theatre Company invites all Black theatre professionals to come together and talk – simply talk, network, cross bridges but most importantly figure out where we are, where we would like to be and what matters most to our art and practice.
Talawa is alive and kicking and passionate about Black theatre. That’s why we are creating a time and a place for practitioners to meet and air their views, for new synergies to be created, generations to be bridged, plans to be made where everyone feels welcome. This is our SALON, a collective discussion aimed at regenerating, celebrating and caretaking our own arts movement.
Each time we meet, there will be a short, provocative address by one of our leading thinkers, a brief Q&A session, and then it’s up to us to keep the conversation going so that we discover each other’s views, find out what we’re doing and would like to do, and create links and strategies in a comfortable, informal environment.
Talk Theatre will be held upstairs at the Bath House pub at 96 Dean Street, Soho, on the last Wednesday of each month starting on the 31st of May. Doors open at 6.30 and the address and questions begin at 7.00.
