Polart Circle S2 M012 by Volcano Theatre (UK, Wales)

Topic: Creating performances in minority languages. This MOOC looks at the creation of two types of performances in minority languages and the opportunities and challenges that they presented. The first performance was trilingual: presented in two ‘minority’ languages (Welsh and Catalan) and English. The second performance was entirely in Welsh and based on Welsh texts but directed by someone who does not speak the language fluently.
