The Contemporary Text: You Make Me Feel Brand New

 Speakers: Fiona Clark, Michael Keegan-Dolan, Pol Heyvaert and Tim Supple, chaired by Willie White 
 Time: 16:45 – 18:00
Location: University Concert Hall 

 There is a danger in taking the notion of tearing up the script too literally. For the foreseeable future, scripts as we know them will remain an important part of theatre. Nonetheless what will be interesting will be the type of texts that will be used and by whom, and the multiple performance languages that they will speak. From epic stories to classic texts, from versions of real life events to new voices telling contemporary stories the speakers for this session are all concerned with tearing up the script to make performances that are thrilling and current.
