Michael Walling and Brian Woolland at Zoukak Studio

Join the Zoukak Theatre Company as it hosts a presentation by Michael Walling and Brian Woolland. They will be describing the work of Border Crossings and a demonstration of the five-day workshop experimenting with “This Flesh is Mine”.

“This Flesh is Mine” has its roots in “The Iliad” and will dramatize specific moments from it, but is not simply a reworking of “The Iliad” to fit contemporary circumstances. It will be a play in which retellings of “The Iliad” become a kind of subject matter in themselves

Michael Walling, Artistic Director of Border Crossings, will talk about the history of the company, its work, its development and its ideology. Brian Woolland, playwright and teacher, will talk about his working methods as a playwright; his long fascination with “The Iliad” and how he is developing the play “This Flesh is Mine”. Presentations of some of the material that the group worked on and the processes that were used during the residency will follow.
