Global Work
Art, Youth and A Shared Peace
In Lviv, western Ukraine, circling out of this ancient Galician city, our taxi driver slammed his breaks to avoid hitting the car in front which had done the same. My wife and I and our two young compatriots lurched, unsettled. Other cars around us stopped. The driver of the car in front jumped out, glanced down the road, then stood to attention with bowed head.
The Giufa Project
A beautiful process led and researched by Laura Fatini, writer, director based in Sarteano, Italy. Opera Circus ran a workshop day jointly at Glyndebourne with their Education Department and Darren Abrahams. Full information on this web site.
A film of the first workshop day. This led to a TCFT/Giufa residency at Battle in Sussex thanks to Chris Stones, Lucy Perry and Glyndebourne Education.
New Projects:
We have several new projects under discussion and looking forward to sharing the details when they are confirmed.
The Stumbling Stones
A work in progress exploration of a journey of a family to discover its past. The Merseyside based writer Julia Nelki wrote the book Villa Russo as an act of witness and of bringing together the history and threads of her family. Through doing so, she discovered characters and tales that she could never have imagined, and this production takes Julia’s voice and brings it to life on stage.
