Borderliners convenor Deb Foskey said, “Camilla Blunden is going to kick off the Telling our Stories project by inspiring us with her performance of All this Living at 3 pm on Saturday.
“On Sunday from 10am till mid-afternoon, Camilla will run a free workshop to help us turn our local stories into theatre to start us on our way to a performance of our own later in the year.
“Her producer, Lea Collins, will run a parallel workshop to train people in sound and lighting using the School of Arts’ new equipment funded by a grant from Southern Phones.
“Lis Shelley, Director of StageFlight Children’s Theatre, will be attending too as she will be helping us develop our show over the coming months.
“The stage is set – now we need your stories to turn into theatre.
“It doesn’t matter which side of the border it comes from or whether it happened yesterday or a hundred years ago, bring it along on Sunday and we will see whether it makes good theatre.
“Young, old or in-between, experienced or totally new to performance, please come along. The aim of Telling our Stories is to have fun above everything else.
“It’s been a long time since we’ve had a local performance, so we are fortunate to have an actor of Camilla’s calibre to start us off,” said Deb Foskey.
