Series 3: Ep 2: In conversation with Kerry Frampton from Splendid
Description
In this month's episode Carl Dunnington (Dorset Champion for Open Drama UK) is joined by Kerry Frampton to talk all things Splendid!
Kerry is so open, honest, reflective and warm as she discusses her life through the lens of theatre and why she creates the work she does today for young people.
Splendid's vision and approach is to create theatre that:
- makes complex things straight forward
- through doing rather than just reading about it
- by finding joy, connectivism and things that are universal
- whilst looking out and after each other with mischief
Splendid "go in, encourage young people to have an autonomy of their work, to feel powerful, to feel brave, to look after each other" this view is very much what we are trying to do with drama teachers and theatre educators here at Open Drama UK too.
Favourite quote of the conversation...
"This wouldn't get through 10 minutes in front of 400 year 10's who are there for a bronze arts award... in the gym" Kerry Frampton's laugh out loud comment on how important the power of theatre is and if it isn't good enough for young people - you aren't given them what they need.
