58. V&A Online
Apologies for cross-posting, but I wanted to draw everyone's attention to a new resource on the V&A's website relating to recording culturally diverse performance.
http://www.vam.ac.uk/collections/theatre_performance/record_today_tomorrow/index.html
This is the culmination of an HLF funded Capacity Building and Cultural Ownership project which aims to increase awareness and highlight the importance of diversity across the V&A. The Theatre Collections department ran a series of evening classes on the practical aspects of recording performance, filmed 5 culturally diverse productions for the National Video Archive and has just launched a touring exhibition which opened at the Roundhouse in London on Friday.
The web resource features interviews with a range of artists and critics involved in the 5 productions we filmed including Kwame Kwei-Armah, Jatinder Verma, Nicholas Kent, Paulette Randall, Keith Khan and Jenny Jules. You can also see clips of the shows:
Gem of the Ocean at the Tricycle Theatre
Deadeye at the Soho
Midsummer Night's Dream at the Roundhouse
Typhoon Live at the Oval House
A Christmas Carol (Ikrismas Kherol) at the Young Vic
