Berlin-London-Kampala-Minsk: Four Writers, Four Cities: Collaborative Writing for Performance
As a result of an informal conversation in 2005, four playwrights have embarked on a journey together to write a play, discovering each other’s cultures and approaches to theatre along the way. They meet in each other’s cities, talk to leading theatre makers there and explore why and how each playwright writes for performance.
‘The play’s the thing’ - but the practical question of how four established playwrights from different cultures work together puts into perspective a wider set of questions about intercultural dialogue: Why attempt it? What have they discovered? About themselves as well as the others? What connects them across their differences? And what sort of production will this truly cosmopolitan play become?
On Friday 5th June, the Harold Pinter Centre will be hosting an opportunity to find out what has been achieved so far and about the personal and practical challenges involved. Playwrights David Lindemann (winner of the Stückemarkt, Berlin Theatertreffen) and Gabriel Gbadamosi (the Pinter Centre’s AHRC Creative Fellow) together with dramaturg/administrator Terry Ezra will be talking about and reading fragments of the playwrights’ work, illustrated by video footage and photographs.
Afterwards refreshments will be served and there will be the opportunity to meet to the playwrights David Lindemann and Gabriel Gbadamosi.
‘Berlin-London-Kampala-Minsk: Four Writers, Four Cities: Collaborative Writing for Performance’, 5-7pm, Friday, 5th June, Small Hall, Richard Hoggart Building (Main Building), Goldsmiths College, University of London. For directions, see: www.gold.ac.uk/find-us/

Re:Berlin-London-Kampala-Minsk: Four Writers, Four Cities: Collaborative Writing for Performance
Please note slight change of location:
Dear all,
Regretably, the location of the presentation at Goldsmiths has had to be changed slightly at short notice.
It will now be held in the Small Hall of the Main Building of Goldsmiths. The Small Hall is behind the café area 'Loafers'. The Main Building is officially known as the Ricahrd Hoggart Building.
The location should now actually be easier to find but just in case, directions can be found at: http://www.gold.ac.uk/find-us/.
Please forward this mail on if you know of anyone who might not receive this mail but who might be planning to come. Posters will be placed in the original location for those who do not receive this message.
Should you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact me, Terry Ezra, on: 0151 324 2282
Many thanks,
Terry Ezra
Administrator, Berlin-London-Kampala-Minsk
