About Poster making working - A Play for Torry - Aberdeen Arts Centre
Cut, paste, and create! In this family-friendly collage workshop, design and make your own bold, imaginative poster. A relaxed, creative session where everyone gets stuck inand leaves with their own artwork. Suitable for ages 7 and up, all welcome.
This poster workshop accompanies the upcoming production, A Play For Torry, at Aberdeen Arts Centre on 31st January. From fish to oil to wind, A Play for Torry is a bold, community-led theatre event co-created with residents, artists and campaigners in Torry, Aberdeen.
Developed under the direction of Emer Morris and Annabel Lunney, its built from real voices and lived experiences of people who have suffered from the rise and decline of industry, while fighting for land, health and home. We have to win, for everybody this isnt just about us.
Funny, moving and defiant, A Play for Torry fuses verbatim storytelling with original music by Simon Gall and Coralie Usmani to create a rich, multi-sensory night out part ceilidh, part protest, part love-letter to a community that refuses to be quiet. It asks urgent questions: Who is the Just Transition really for? What does it cost when decisions about climate and land are made without the people who live there?
Rooted in Torry, the show resonates far beyond Aberdeen, echoing the stories of coastal and industrial communities across Scotland. With live music, ensemble performance and special appearances from local guest artists, A Play for Torry invites audiences to celebrate, reflect, and to ask together: how do we want to do things?
Co-written by Mae Diansangu, Shane Strachan and Emer Morris, A Play for Torry is funny, fierce and full of hope - a celebration of resilience, collective strength and the drive to imagine something better.
A Play for Torry is presented in partnership with Friends of the Earth Scotland, Aberdeen Arts Centre and funded by Creative Scotlands Open Fund.
