For free, on Tuesdays & Thursdays at 1pm for 30 minutes, the King's Head Theatre is streaming a different window into the theatre accessible to everybody: our entire community, from artists to audiences to just Facebook followers, we can stay connected and we can develop together. On Tuesday, we are joined by Clarissa Widya from Papergang Theatre. They produce work that is informed by the East Asian experience within Britain and the East Asian diaspora, inspired by the desire to see that perspective on stage. Clarissa leads the company as a producer. Since Papergang Theatre's foundation in 2013, Clarissa has facilitated writing workshops and R&Ds, and produced staged readings and scratch nights. In 2018, Papergang Theatre became a charity and Clarissa worked on a rebrand with Associate Director Kim Pearce before going on maternity leave. A year later, Papergang Theatre returned with more socio-political projects: Tiananmen 30 (2019) at the Omnibus Theatre; Invisible Harmony ????? at the Southbank Centre and Freedom Hi ??? followed in 2020, the latter winning VAULT Show of the Week. This session will cover the development of Papergang Theatre, growing into a career and being a parent in the theatre industry. On Thursday, theatre designer Isabella Van Braeckel join us - Isabella is a London-based Designer for Performance, specialising in New Writing, Opera and Dance across Fringe Theatre and in the West End. She is a Jerwood Young Designer, long-listed for the Old Vic 12 and was featured in the UK Exhibit
