Step into the Fourth Dimension...
Friday 26 March, 6.00pm and Saturday 27 March, 2.30pm
Venue: Oxford School, Glanville Road, Oxford
Tickets: £3
Pegasus Theatre presents the last production in their Year of Science and Art programme for the Oxfordshire Seasons of Science festival. Oxford Youth Theatre Companies and adult drama group Platypus Theatre present Fourth Dimension at Oxford School.
Caring for Lear
Caring for Lear is an adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic by Oxford Youth Theatre, which explores the deep mental states of ageing and family relationships in our celebrity, youth obsessed culture. With the help of eminent psychiatrists Lillian Hickey and Klaus Ebmeier, the company have created a piece that holds up a mirror exposing the negative view of the elderly held by modern society.
Within the Moment and Walking on Eggshells
OYT Dance Company also offers two pieces. Within The Moment looks at health from an unusual perspective. Dancers become patients and viruses and uncover the emotional and physical effects on people with an incurable virus - the waves of illness rippling out to their social circles.
The second piece, Walking on Eggshells, is from a performance and workshop project that recently toured to local primary schools. Created with Oxford Family Mediation, the company performed and led workshops with primary school students, looking at the effects of family separation on young people.
A Stitch in Time
In A Stitch In Time, Pegasus’ adult drama group Platypus Theatre investigates time - how we mark it, what it looks like, how we could store it, how it shifts and what we would do with it if we had more of it.
