MA Film; some more images

The film I made for my MA course is a documentary, which includes some dramatised scenes within it. I've already posted some images of the drama scenes and behind the scenes footage, so I thought I'd include some of the archive photos and other images from the film in this post. There are suffragettes, a playbill we reproduced based on authentic materials from the time, a still from the film, and the last two pictures are Cicely Hamilton and Edith Craig, two of the most well known female theatre practioners of the era. Enjoy!

MA film: Behind the scenes

As part of my MA film, which is a documentary about the playwrights who wrote for the suffrage movement, we adapted one of the plays from the era; 'A Chat with Mrs Chicky'. Here are some behind the scenes shots of our period, Edwardian drama/comedy. Also, very excitingly, shot on location at The Pankhurst Centre, former home of Emiline Pankhurst and her family. Thanks to the incredibly talented Michela De Rossi for the beautiful pics!

The Wind in the Willows with the Manchester Library Theatre

In December 2011, I was commissioned by Manchester Library Theatre to develop and produce some projections for their Christmas show 'The Wind in the Willows'. I worked closely with the Artistic Director Chris Honer and designer Judith Croft to create original video projections with an 'early cinema' feel. I filmed and edited the work, adding effects to make them seem like film from the early 1900s, the period in which the play was set. One of them can be seen in the trailer for the production at 25 seconds. The link is below, along with some photos from the show.

Tall Tales, Tantrums and Gordon Brown with the Library Theatre's Norfox group

In August 2011, I was commissioned to create film projections for a theatre show with the Library Theatre's Norfox group. The play was called 'Tall Tales, Tantrums and Gordon Brown' and featured deaf and hearing young actors working together. It was a wonderful experience and I really enjoyed playing around with the images and being able to combine my two passions; film and theatre. You can watch an edited video featuring my projections on my vimeo page or see the whole performance by clicking here.
