REAL People Theatre, the York women’s community theatre group, will run a workshop for York International Women’s Week on March 8.
The event will run from 2pm to 4pm in person at SPARK York, Piccadilly, York, and on Zoom. Contact artistic director Sue Lister on 01904 488870 for the link.
The workshop will consider what the news of today is inspired by. “What or who has inspired you?”asks Sue. “A person past or present? An experience? The arts or sciences, exploration? Or have you been inspired by nature in all her wonders? As women, let’s share our inspirations and how they have influenced our lives.”
“This will be our 25th offering in the festival,” Sue continues. “It would be good to share women’s stories and record those who want to as a collage of positive life experiences! We need a bit of cheering up these days. The edited recording would go on my small YouTube channel, YouTube@ListerInteractions.
“By the way, if you can’t make March 8, I’ll be running the workshop again on March 12, same time, same place, same format for AWOC York (Ageing without the support of nearby children or family) All ‘awocs’ and allies are welcome.”
Sue will turn 80 next month. “I’m trying to slow down, so if anyone would like to run a drama workshop in the future under the Real People Theatre umbrella, do give me a ring.”
