Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City

Jo and George will be heading out to Viet Nam this Nov/Dec 2023

 

We will collaborating with SaigonTheatreland and Life Art on a project called the Ecology of Community.

The five week visit will bring people together the idea being that if the arts and artists are to thrive, community will be essential. There will be workshops, conversation, lunches, walks, performances of The Rest of Our Lives with our fantastic translator Tham Tran. We’ll be working with students at  Trường Đại Học Sân Khấu – Điện Ảnh Hà Nội  thanks to artist Nguyen Hoang Tung and the trip culminates in a  creative process with 9 artists creating a new Physical Theatre performance at the HCMC Labor Culture Palace.

This project has received funding and generous support from British Council Wales / Viet Nam and Wales Arts International. There are many people who have helped this ambitious project get into motion including Thu Dang, Rebecca Gould and An Le… Planning continues…..

 

In the meantime, George and I would be really happy to chat with UK based Viet Nam artists. Please do get in touch.
