The participants will explore themes from Hansel & Gretel as well as outdoor activities that will culminate in an outdoor performance at the Hidden Gardens, Tramway. The residency will involve a mixture of dance, drama and artwork sessions led by staff from Scottish Ballet and Citizens Theatre, along with music sessions, live accompaniment and tailored, outdoor sessions with a Bushcraft specialist. All of the activities will take inspiration from much-loved children’s tale Hansel & Gretel. Both drama and dance sessions will explore themes from the story, using text, movement, music and imagery, whilst the outdoor session will expand on the themes looking at problem-solving, team-work and imagination through creative outdoor play.

Part of NTS Reveal. Set over the course of one increasingly unhinged night at the Oktoberfest fair in Munich, Ödön von Horváth’s love story about impoverished youth and their affluent, predatory elders is an absolute stage fixture in German-speaking countries, while having received scarcely any exposure whatsoever in the English-language theatre in the eight decades since it was originally penned. This reading will seek to take an overdue first step in rendering this major European classic to a fresh audience, presenting a brand-new Scots translation of the piece by Alan McKendrick, who also directs.
