Artists as Writers with Dorothy Max Prior at Space, 6 West Street, Old Market, BS2 0BH

A event on Friday 25th October. The event starts at 14:00.


Are you a circus, theatre or dance artist interested in developing your writing skills? Would you like to acquire a more robust tool kit for writing about physical and visual performance – your own and other people’s?

Led by editor of Total Theatre Magazine Dorothy Max Prior, this practical workshop looks at how we go about critiquing circus, outdoor arts, dance and other performing arts work that is highly visual and physical, and often doesn’t have a written text to refer to.

Workshop participants will all see a Circus City show, and we'll then gather together to reflect on how we’d write about it and look at how best to describe and reflect upon your own performance work.

Limited places - Friday 25th Oct - 2- 4pm - Festival Hub, Space, 6 West Street, Old Market, Bristol BS2 0BH
From 4.30 - 5pm Dorothy Max Prior will introduce the Total Theatre online archive - all welcome
