Over the past 10 years, Quarantine has made a series of performances working with both trained and untrained performers to create theatre where there is the smallest of gaps between performer and material, and between performer and audience. This Summer School will focus on the ways in which the artist might absent themselves from their own work and will explore how we might hand over responsibility and agency to the audience for their physical, emotional and intellectual experience of a performance event.

The week also includes a series of presentations by other artists supported by and associated with greenroom.

For more detailed information go to: www.qtine.com

The Summer School will run from Monday 14th to Saturday 19th July 2008 (10am-6pm most days, with occasional evening sessions, ending with a sharing of work to an invited audience.) It is open to all, irrespective of artform background. There are only 14 places available. To apply please complete this application form: Quarantine Summer School Application Form.

The deadline for applications is Monday 19 May. We will let you know whether or not your application has been successful by 27 May.
