If 'all the world's a stage' and we want to change the world; what does it mean for the stage?
A long form performing arts project, conceived and managed by Pippa Bailey, in response to global environmental and economic crisis.
BiDiNG TiME is a glitteringly ambitious experiment to create live events based on a story shared around the world. Its an invitation to make theatre, in many different ways.
The invitation is to adapt the story locally and find ways to connect it to the place where you live. Share what you create virtually and connect with others in their local communities.
First made in Sydney, Australia in 1987, revisited in 2007, five productions tested this new model in 2012; BiDiNG TiME is democratising creative processes, celebrating cultural exchange, creating 'Fair Trade' theatre. In a world where women still face discrminiation; climate change and environmental disaster threaten our survival; we need to change. Telling new stories in new ways is part of that process.
An invitation for creative people. YOU. Get in touch, read the script and respond with your own interpretation.
Become a creative partner: Gather people together to tell your version of this story.
BiDiNG TiME is about change. Imagination is powerful. Climate Change is a central theme and a driving force. This story isn't finished. Making it better and more relevant is within your power, that's the point! Join the action.
With support from the British Council, Visiting Arts, Kent County Council
