A group of theatre people have come together in support of the relief effort for Christchurch. Much as musicians might be able to put on a concert, we are performing verbatim play - "Aftershocks".
The piece is Verbatim Theatre. Verbatim Theatre is a unique form of community theatre. Essentially, a community is consulted with and ultimately members of a community are interviewed around events or issues, the text from those interviews is taken verbatim and re-ordered, and edited down, in order to create a piece of theatre.
The final result being something that is extremely personal and amazingly powerful. Real words from real people with often excruciatingly real experiences.
The piece that we have chosen is "Aftershocks" which is accounts from those in, around and connected to he Newcastle Workers' Club, that survived the December 28th 1989 Newcastle (Aus) earthquake.
This event will be held in the Gallagher Concert Chamber, WEL Academy of Performing Arts, University of Waikato.
Entry by donation, with all proceeds going to the Christchurch relief.
