Little Bulb are a theatre company that describe themselves as being "A group of friends who are passionate about making theatre together." First establishing themselves in Kent, 2008, Little Bulb now hold several awards including Fringe First at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and tour both at home and abroad.
Above is an image of Little Bulb's interpretation of 'Orpheus' which I found to be appropriate as that is the production I'll be working on with the performance students. It's definitely interesting to see their own transposal of a play they're helping students re-create.
Little Bulb are currently working with the UCA Acting and Performance students at Farnham by assisting them in devising gradually more extensive performance pieces giving feedback and advice weekly. Firstly they began with a 3 minute piece exploring an initial idea, followed up the next week by an entirely new 7 minute concept. The week after that they were then made to choose one of these ideas and convert it into a 15 minute performance. After that came a 30 minute exploration and development of the idea, with critiques afterwards. Our role as designers and practitioners is to take these concepts the students arrive at and design to them, bringing the characters and environments to life.
