Taking up the theme of Space, Place and Protest, HatcH will be devised by TYPT, Talawa's company of emerging artists. TYPT will work with a multidisciplinary team of experienced practitioners to explore what happens when the spaces we call our own shrink, shift and are invaded. The company will work over 4 weeks to develop their practice, test ideas and produce a brand new piece of theatre. Kevin McCurdy, the UK's first and only Black Equity Fight Director, will integrate fight choreography into the piece, as movement director. The show will be produced by Talawa Theatre Company's Producer: Participation & Learning. DJs and performance poets will provide additional dialogues on the theme of place and space before and after the show, making this an unmissable late summer arts event. Set up in 1995, TYPT provides a truly unique stepping-stone for emerging theatre makers, including actors, stage managers and designers at the beginning of their careers. Participants' relationship and development with Talawa does not end with the initial intensive 4-week programme, as the Company continues to offer free support to participants as their careers develop.
