Birds of Paradise’s Agent for Change event — Changing : Roles —will be a day of discussion and debate on creating inclusive theatre.

With contributions from renowned Scottish playwrights, we will explore the ways in which inclusive writing is developing and identify new approaches which challenge conventional boundaries.

Changing : Roles will be of interest to writers and creators of new work in Scottish theatre. The focus of the day will be on action.

 

Programme Highlights

Revolution in The Head – Playwright David Greig will ask what happens if we take the fight for inclusivity into the realm of the imagination?

Casting the Net – Highlighting his current production, The Mother Ship, playwright Douglas Maxwell will reflect on his approaches to creating work for an inclusive cast.

I Want a Six Foot Blonde – Playwright Alan Wilkins and Birds of Paradise’s Artistic Director Morven Gregor in an open conversation look at their creative process while working together on Birds of Paradise’s autumn production Offshore.

Whose Debate is this Anyway? – Playwright, director and actor Garry Robson will ask whether disabled writers and directors are the only ones qualified to speak on disability themes.

Round Table – Chaired by Birds of Paradise’s Company Manager Shona Rattray, this debate gives an opportunity to share opinions, thoughts and actions from the day. The panel will include Robert Softley, Birds of Paradise’s Agent for Change.
