Details

Conversation, Charisma and Chance Kontakt is a theatrical experiment that blurs the boundary between performer and audience. 20 performers, 20 audience members and 20 bridge tables, each lit by a single overhanging light bulb. What follows is a series of unique one-to-one encounters, which can include conversations, drawing, writing and sometimes dancing. The groundbreaking Youth Theatre project which explores how we communicate and learn from one another continues to go from strength to strength in 2010. The format has been adopted by the Birmingham Rep Youth Theatre and the Arcola Youth Theatre in London, and a recent collaboration includes Kontakt @ The Pierhead with 15 politicians from the National Assembly for Wales.
