With the Edinburgh International Children’s Festival and Edinburgh Festival Fringe not taking place as normal in 2020, our Teachers Theatre Club went digital! We were delighted to be able to bring our Year 1 and Year 2 cohorts together to experience and discuss online performances. A mixture of live, pre-recorded and digital shorts were viewed by the group including:
- Bubble by Kieran Hurley. Produced by Theatre Uncut
- Invisible by Kabinet K
- Don't we deserve grand human projects that give us meaning? By Robert&Frank Frank&Robert. Produced by CAMPO
- Lament for Sheku Bayoh by Hannah Lavery. Co-produced by Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh, National Theatre of Scotland and Edinburgh International Festival
In late June, Imaginate hosted an open session for our Year 1 and Year 2 Teachers Theatre Club cohorts, along with teachers and educators from across Scotland to come together and respond to a selection of the National Theatre Scotland’s Scenes for Survival series of digital shorts which were created in response to COVID-19.
During 2021 Teachers Theatre Club cohorts viewed the following productions:
- The Enemy by Kieran Hurley. Produced by National Theatre of Scotland.
And at the 2021 Edinburgh Festival Fringe:
- Sex Education Xplorers (S.E.X.) by Mamoru Iriguchi. Produced by Independent Arts Projects. This performance was followed by a talk by Mamoru Iriguchi and the team behind the show.
- Treasure Island by Quantum Theatre
