Take part in Transform Glasgow - a major theater project with the National Theater

If you are from the Easterhouse or Glasgow East area and are involved with community arts - as an individual or within a group - we want to meet you!

We are especially keen to meet those with an interest in:

• creative writing,
• storytelling,
• rapping and
• traditional Scottish singing.

If you are not creatively minded but simply have a story of survival to share (from the everyday to the death-defying) we would like to hear from you too.

Community information evening

 Tuesday 25th August 2009, 7pm - 8.30pm, ages 14 +
Platform, The Bridge
1000 Westerhouse Road, Glasgow G34 9JW

Bringing groups together to tell a story

Transform Glasgow will bring together local community groups, school pupils and individuals from a range of backgrounds to create an exciting theatre event involving stories of survival, near misses, ducked bullets, triumph, failure and redemption.

Come and talk to the team if you want to be involved

To learn more about this exciting project and ways to become involved, please join us at Platform, the Bridge, Easterhouse, on Tuesday 25th August at 7pm.

There will be an opportunity to speak to the team leading the project and following the information session, there will be an optional creative writing exercise led by the project’s director.

Organisations

The National Theatre of Scotland in partnership with Platform is leading this major theatre project in the Glasgow East area from August to November 2009.
