Action Factory, Tramway, Glasgow, 14—19 Oct.
Take some marshmallows, Marmite and a few gherkins, add a bit of imagination and hey presto, Gruesome Grub — not every mother’s nightmare scenario, but a workshop organised as part of the Action Factory, a festival for children aged three to eighteen. Covering the schools’ holiday week (daily 10am—5pm), the extensive programme is a collaboration between nineteen organisations in Glasgow and aims to promote and develop children's culture.
Performance and participation are the names of the games and include guided tours of the Evening Times and the studios at BBC Radio Scotland, circus skills, drama and creative writing workshops, the whole StarTrek series of feature films at the GFT, the chance to meetAileen Paterson, the author of the Maisie books, and hundreds of other events at a range of venues.
The festival is co-ordinated by Giant Productions whose Big Noise event attracted over 9000 children and young people last year. Tramway asked the company to put together a daily
ACTION STATIONS!
programme for their space and the giant Action Factory is the result. Children have the chance to see a variety of theatre and performance, get involved in Hallowe‘en mask, Gruesome Grub (as above) and face-painting experimentation, or hang out in Le Cafe Crisp.
The programme includes local and international talent. The Clown Jewels, a multi-media theatre company from France are staging ‘The Present‘. Using music, video and circus skills, the action follows the fate of Elsie, a young girl stuck forever in the middle of the afternoon. Also from France, the Theatre du Foz, a company who use large scale puppets and very unusual sets are putting on ‘The Alliage’, a production which explores the way we cope with technology. From Scotland are Libby MoArthur, who will be story-telling and Magic Bob the magician.
Action Factory aims to be an annual event and Giant Productions stress the need forthis kind of initiative for children as ‘it takes them on to other things and means they don’t find the theatre a daunting experience.‘ (Beatrice Colin)
