Moving Bodies - A Cast-Off Drama Workshop

Friday 2nd June 2006, 10am-4pm

Leeds City Art Gallery

Moving Bodies explores the journeying aspects of Frank Brangwyn's work through practical drama, storytelling, figure-drawing, mask-making, textiles and discussion. We focus on his images of itinerant workers, notably his depictions of sailors, spinners and Travellers, and investigate the C19th development of the Gypsy vardo as an art influence on Brangwyn's frames and motifs. The workshop offers an opportunity to experiment with a range of art materials and drama practices in relation to the exhibition. The workshop is free, all materials provided.

Moving Bodies is put on in connection with Cast-Off Drama's forthcoming production 'Beads' (23rd/ 24th June, Swarthmore Centre, Leeds) and has been booked by leeds City Art Gallery as part of their programme of activities on the Frank Brangwyn retrospective (6th April - 11th June)

Research funded by Leeds Philosophical & Literary Society
