It is really helpful to have two interviews from two completely different people who virtually have the same job, Gail McIntyre, the Artistic director from The West Yorkshire Playhouse and Pavla Beier, the Artistic Director at Blah Blah Blah Theatre in Education company. Gail came into our school and allowed us to interview her directly where as Pavla asked us to email our questions, she then replied with a lot to say!
In Pavla's Interview, what interested me the most was the when she said that they don't have children coming to them and they prefer going to the children in their surroundings. This is because 'using a familiar space to the children IE- their classroom or school hall transforms the performance in an imaginative way.'
I really agree with Pavla as it makes the set seem more real as it was once their hall or classroom and now it's a ....... (for example : A jungle).
Being given two Artistic directors interviews really helps us to compare and contrast the two sets of answers.
