September 7th Empty Gallery Performers Rehearsal
St Barnabas School Hall, Quarry Road (bottom of Camden Rd) Tunbridge Wells 11am- 2pm Rehearsal of Impro Live Problem Pictures.
The rehearsal is for the Impro group and the Role players who want to participate in the Live Problem Pictures at the Gallery on Heritage weekend. Problem Pictures were popular in Edwardian times. They were paintings by many established artists in leading art galleries and featured as illustrations in magazines and papers. The pictures were generally dramatic situations but were open to interpretation as to who the characters were and what was going on, it was left to the imagination of the viewer. Our live problem pictures will involve performers creating a tableaux that visitors can interact with, make suggestions, ask questions of the characters, change the pictures so they move forward and backward in time. It's a fascinating game of interpreting picture and building stories. This rehearsal/workshop, will show performers different ways of engaging with the gallery visitors.
