Between the Real and the Represented
 

For hundreds of years, dramatists have reflected society through their work. Today, no longer satisfied with this form of representation, many contemporary theatre artists choose to confront reality more directly, using forms such as documentary theatre or theatre of facts. Through the process, reality becomes the material to be cut and pasted, collaged, or juxtaposed with other sources. In this workshop, conceptual artist Ching Chin Wai Luke looks at the concerns of contemporary artists and the ways in which new forms of representation are derived, and leads participants through a series of exercises that offer first-hand experience of creating work from real life. Examining the four productions chosen in the festival from a conceptual arts perspective, he also explores the development of contemporary theatre.
