Week 3 - 18th February
Facilitator - Noel Cahill
Technique - Usage of diegetic, non-diegetic and meta-diegetic music (and sound) in the theatrical domain within the context of a short piece from the point of view of a director.
Theme - "Music's function in theatre
Title: "Using Music in Theatre"

Picture
The aim is to address music and its place in theater, what its usage implies, why we use it, and what form that music takes. We'll be using speakers, so can everyone bring along an mp3 or an Ipod or a phone so that they can use their own music to suit their own scene. Also I will have a guitar and a ukulele, but please do being along any music instrument that you have or that you can play or not play. We'll hopefully create some beautiful pieces in using music, while learning why we do it and how we can do it.

Week 4 - 25th February
Facilitator - TBD
Technique - Dramaturgy 
Theme - Sharing of New Work
Title - Dramaturgical Workshop

Picture
At Large is dedicated to providing a forum for the development and production of new work. As part of our weekly workshop series the last workshop of every month will be dedicated to the sharing of new pieces. Everyone at the workshop gets involved from reading a part to taking a look at the piece from different perspectives such as director, actor, audience member and asks the writer questions from that particular point of view. This can be quite dynamic and can involve the use of various activities for example placing the actors in the appropriate positions of stage and giving actors pieces of dialogue to improvise around to help the writer make it more realistic. the group is open to any other ideas that might help a playwright tell their story.
