Verona

I'm currently in Verona- an amazing experience which is solely based on the work that I do at the Chickenshed Theatre company. It's experiences like these that remind me as to why I work at Chickenshed and why my passion lies there and also why I am intending to do my final project on issue based theatre. The values, ethos and Chickenshed methodology enable the work which Chickenshed completes to be so varied. A typical week at Chickenshed proves that. Two days a week I go out on "anti-knife crime" workshops, 2 days I work on a "tales" production for children under 5, also mentoring the foundation degree students and now in Verona doing workshops. This variety allows me to tap into my interest of issue based theatre and the 3rd year allows me to force myself to understand how everything I am doing is so valid and worth while- and if I reflect upon my practice I can develop much quicker than I would originally! Just a quick update Jojo x
