Northern Connections - The Highlands  - Northern Sweden

The Northern Connections Project aims to create the opportunity for 20 artists from the two countries to work together intensively over two 3 day workshops, the first workshop taking place in the Highlands of Scotland and the second taking place in Sweden. The workshops are intended to assist in the development of at least one fully collaborative project which could tour in each country, as well as learn from and share ideas with artists from Sweden.

One of the principle aims of the project is to develop a piece of work which has particular relevance to the rural communities of Scotland and Sweden. Participating artists will be expected to attend the workshops armed with thoughts and ideas that they think would have relevance to their own remote communities. They should also consider what elements of theatre technique and practise they would most like to develop during the workshop process.

The three-day workshop programme will initially take place when the Swedish artists visit Ullapool (Highlands) on the 2nd to 4th December 2005.  The second development workshop will take place in Umea (Sweden) on the 3rd to 5th February 2006.
