Paper People

On Monday night our Education team were busy at Truro College creating and animating weird and wonderful creatures at a puppetry workshop with the Puppet Centre Trust and Robin Guiver, famous for his work on War Horse.

The evening saw the attendees mastering the tricky and somewhat surreal process of turning a paper person into Michael Jackson, Garry Lineker and the Queen (Imagine those three at a dinner party)  

The workshop was a great success, thanks to all that attended and helped organise the evening. 

From one mad day to another...

Never one to sit still we’ve been working through the weekend, showing off some off some of our Panto costumes at the Cornish Pirates match on Sunday where they smashed the Rotheram Titans with a 30 – 13 victory, hurrah! Clearly Robinson Crusoe and Princess Polly are Lucky charms as they were also invited to help out with drawing the half time draw, all of which resulted in a very fun if slightly surreal day.

And so the madness continued into Monday as we opened Alan Bennett’s The Madness of George III featuring award winning actors David Haig and Clive Francis. Lindsey and I were outside the theatre grabbing people’s reactions which I've been busy putting together into a video…

Hello and welcome

Hello and welcome to Hall for Cornwall’s updated backstage blog. Lindsey and I are here to tell you all the juicy goings on from the wonderful world of the stage.

Mainly its going to be us letting you know what’s happening at HfC but if you’ve got any questions about the theatre, then we’ll try our hardest to answer them. If you have a question for a celeb or just want to know how we change the light bulbs we want to hear from you. There’s no question too big, no question too small (within reason, we’re not giving away all our secrets!)

We’d love any submissions from you too, so if you’ve written a review or taken an amazing photo at a gig email it over to blog@hallforcornwall.org.uk  and we may well post it.

So sit back, read, reblog, become a fan, re-tweet and comment away.
