Following a successful visit in 2004 Grid Iron are back in the region to present their award winning piece Those Eyes that Mouth and work with 20 young theatre professionals from Lebanon Syria, Egypt, and Tunisia for a period of three weeks on technical and creative skills in view of producing a work in progress with the collaboration of an upcoming young Lebanese theatre Director.
In autumn 2004, Scottish site-specific theatre company Grid Iron spent three weeks working with emerging theatre practitioners in the Near East (Beirut and Amman) on site specific theatre, that is, performance that is made with a particular consideration of the location in which it is presented. The work was funded by British Council Lebanon, Jordan and London.
Following the success of the Beirut and Amman projects, Grid Iron was invited to work in Beirut with theatre practitioners from Lebanon, Syria, Egypt and Tunisia.
During a period of 3 weeks, the UK theatre company will perform their award winning piece Those Eyes That Mouth whose subject matter and setting are of particular relevance to the socio-economic atmosphere in the region. However the main focus of their visit is to deliver technical and creative workshops to a group of young theatre practitioners from the countries listed above in view of producing a local play “work in progress” on a culturally relevant theme.
The workshops will feed into the production of the work in progress which will be developed and worked in collaboration with an emerging Lebanese theatre director.
