The Mountain

The Pemulung - garbage scavengers in Jakarta who live on 'the mountain' of rubbish, making something out of nothing. Through understanding the community how can we make theatre from re-using and recycling objects, ideas and experiences?

A trip to a scavenger site in which the workers recycle the materials into products which can be bought. Students can watch the whole process from selection of materials, cleaning, to the making. 

Ensembles will be general devising.

There will be a tech ensemble at this Festival. You will be asked to supply a number of tech students based, roughly, on the following formula:

5-10 students = 1 tech student nominee

10-15 students = 2 tech student nominees

15-20 students = 3 tech student nominees

We will be offering a High School Apprentice programme at this Festival.
