MODULE B

In this module we take students through a step-by-step process to creating their own piece of Verbatim theatre. We share our own experiences of creating theatre in this style, and take you through a workbook with tasks and prompts to help craft your own pieces.

RESOURCES ARCHIVE

Throughout Module A and Module B, we make reference to videos, interviews and documents that we created as part of our making process. We have included parts of these through the tasks in each module and put them all in one place for safe keeping!

WHAT WE MADE…

As part of our project, diving into the Northcott’s archive, we created a piece of theatre with a group of young people from our Northcott Young Company – it was called ‘The Back End Of The Cow and Other Stories’. Based upon the stories we gathered from people who have influenced and been influenced by the Northcott since the beginning, we created this piece as a celebration of the history we uncovered, and a milestone in the archive of the future.
