London-based director, actor writer, and producer Russell Lucas, and local rural touring scheme Arts Alive, are teaming up to deliver an original theatre-making course this November in Shrewsbury. Firmly focused on inspiring and enabling local performers and writers to make their own work, this workshop will take your idea, hold it to ransom, and offer up ways to bring it into fruition. You could be at the start of writing a one-person show or building a musical. Whatever your end goal, every piece of theatre must be put through the bare bones of what is required to make a piece of live art. Using their decades of experience of getting original projects off the ground, Russell Lucas and Hannah Prior, Artistic Director at Arts Alive will map out what you require to make some theatre and make it work in the area you live in.
In the workshop you will discover:
• What do you actually want to present on the stage?
• Why now and what does it look like?
From there you will progress onto:
• Developing your ideas; consolidating your results; theatricalising your work; solidifying your plot; determining your career objectives
You will receive expert tuition on dramaturgy, direction, producing, and writing.
Russell's original theatre has been seen in the West End, Edinburgh, and off-Broadway. He is a strong supporter of getting artists to create without waiting for permission, and this philosophy is reflected in his new book, published by Nick Hern.

Excellent venue, interesting choice of films, good choice of refreshments and value for money. Very happy, friendly event. We look forward to coming to Colwall.

I am so pleased I was able to see the film, as is was intended on the big screen. Much better than watching it at home on the television.

Audience feedback - Lingen Village Hall
Most films we've seen are enjoyable, well-chosen for the audience and very entertaining at times. Very well run by the group, especially the refreshments at intermission.

An exciting community resource in this isolated village. 'A taste of culture'.

This venue at Tasley is extremely well organised, films are well varied for a mixed audience.
Audience feedback - Tasley
The organisers were very welcoming and offered drinks and cake as everyone arrived. The film (Ali & Ava) was different and gave an insight to other peoples lives. This is why I go to Flicks in the Sticks : to see other films rather than Box Office blockbusters and get a glimpse into other cultures around the world.
