The Development of parallel
|
Parallel was developed with Crisis, the national charity for single homeless people, and Harrogate Homeless Project. It is co-produced by Harrogate Theatre, where the production premiered in March 2016.
As part of the research and development phase, writer Laura Lindsay interviewed charity staff and service users, and attended participation sessions to gain a real insight and hear stories of those affected first-hand by homelessness. To find out more about the development process, check out this interview with Laura. Crisis Arts Coordinator Kellie Gamble praises the results of the process: "Laura has authentically and unflinchingly represented the real life experiences of our clients. But despite this brutal truth, she has captured something engaging, funny and warm. The benefits of her research were not just authenticity in the play, being involved in the creative process of the project has helped the members who took part. It has increased their confidence, self-esteem and skills and has enabled them to discover their own latent talents. Working with Laura has been an incredible experience for our members and the organisation alike.” |
