gay theatre

We recently did a seminar on either Gay, feminist or black theater. I chose to do mine on gay and found loads of information that I had never come across before. For instance through doing this project I have come to realize that Gay theater is very rare now and has become part of everyday theater and is no longer classed as a genre of its own. I also discovered the Dublin Gay theater festival which promotes old and new pieces of Gay theater once a year for a week. I am hoping to go to this festival next year as it seems interesting and fun.

Our new Project..... TENS

for our next project we are directing in pairs. Lloyd and I have decided to work together and have had many ideas ranging from banana wrestling to evil clowns. We have started to work around the idea of the perfect image showing how stupid and consuming it can become. we have started to create images in our head that we think could be used. for example the idea of make-up turning them into clowns and anorexia being a school lesson. Lloyd has also written some short extracts of script that we are working around to help base on piece.
