21st September, 2012 - Posted by Gavin - Comments Off on Divided We Fall? – Free Public Workshop 26th September

After some weeks researching issues affecting people and organisations in Leith we have decided to call our new Forum Theatre project Divided We Fall? Information on the project and our Free Public Workshop on 26th September is below. You can invite people on our Facebook events page. The more the merrier!

Public Workshop Flyer

A theatre project in Leith creating a space to explore Identity, Diversity and Integration. Living together in difficult times.

FREE PUBLIC WORKSHOP

We live in a diverse society in terms of ethnic origin, age, class, ability and many other factors. But what does diversity really mean? Can diversity be a barrier to integration? Leith has been a diverse community for centuries but new developments have coined the term “New Leith” and reinstated the debate over who can call themselves a “Leither”. Is there a danger that cuts to public services and the Welfare Reform Act might cause diverse communities to fragment? What can we do to stop this? 

Active Inquiry is a Leith-based theatre company making theatre with and for the people of Leith. We are developing a piece of Forum theatre exploring the theme of Identity, Diversity and Integration. To start the development process we are holding a public workshop to hear your stories and investigate your experiences and ideas. All are welcome – especially if you live, work or play in Leith. Performances will take place throughout Leith at the end of November/ beginning of December.
