Theatre and Performance Studies students participate in the creative dramaturgical adaptation of The Winter’s Tale for a street performance and travel to Poznan, Poland to see the show and present at an international academic conference.
Four Theatre and Performance Studies students, Alice Brazil-Burns, Emma Jelly, Sophia Pardon and Sophie Upcraft, collaborated with Dr Susan Haedicke on the creation of a Dramaturgy Packet for a professional performance of The Winter’s Tale by Teatr Biuro Podróży, one of the most important and innovative European street theatre companies. As a result of this work, and thanks to a Warwick Public Engagement Fund grant, three of the students (Alice, Sophia, and Emma) travelled to Poznan, Poland in October 2016 to see the initial adaptation of the play on the streets of the old city around the Cathedral. The students created a programme (translated into Polish) for this early version of the adaptation. In addition, they were invited to present on the creative dramaturgical process at an international academic conference, hosted by Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan.
