Winter Residency at the Citz
VANISHING POINT WINTER RESIDENCY
at THE CITIZENS THEATRE
We’re thrilled to be at the Citz’ incredible new Studio theatre space, where over the course of two-weeks, we’re curating a programme of shows and events that we find really exciting. They all align with our values of internationalism, local engagement, artistic experimentation, career development for artists and - most of all - entertaining audiences.
Whether you choose to see one or two events, or attend the full programme, we hope you’ll find something that sparks your curiosity.
Our residency offers artists a chance to meet with audiences, programmers, producers and other people working in the performing arts.
Shows include Size Matters by Mamoru Iriguchi, Mistero Buffo by Franca Rame and Dario Fo, directed by Ben Standish and performed by Lawrence Boothman, and Last Orders, Alana Jackson’s stand-up comedy show.
To complement our programme of shows, we have curated a series of discussion events that seek to reimagine the future of Scottish theatre. These are aimed at people working in all areas of theatre and performance in Scotland and are free to attend but places are limited.
Three speakers will complete the sentence What if….? and present to the room one bold idea that could shift the way Scottish theatre works – expect big ideas that may challenge your thinking. These provocations will be the
Further additions to the programme - including work-in-progress sharings of new shows - will be announced soon.
