Worksong
The Details!
Using music and image, Worksong presents real stories of significant life change. A cross-section of Dublin-based people were interviewed earlier this year about big changes in their work life. In this extract four participants, Phil, Simon & Kate, and Nuala tell their stories. The verbatim technique used in the piece employs the actual interview recordings, which are edited and played through headphones to actors. The actors repeat what the participants say word for word and with the same intonation. The piece also includes composed music and projected image inspired by elements of the stories. This performance is an excerpt from a planned larger piece of verbatim theatre with music, currently being developed by Michelle Read and Fionnuala Conway.
