THE WRITER'S      NOTEBOOK

CAPTURING THE DIRECTOR'S CREATIVE PROCESS

The concept for the Writer's Notebook was developed after the delivery of the during the Southwark Theatre Partnership Theatre (STEP) Arts Festival.  It was designed to encapsulate the complex and unique approach taken by the director to engage the young people with Autism and Aspergers Syndrome in the creative process of storytelling.

CREATIVE

INSPIRATION FOR THE WRITER'S E-NOTEBOOK

The Writer's E-Notebook was developed to evoke the qualities of a storyboard and an artist's sketchbook giving the reader an insight into the director's creative mind set while devising a programme.

To communicate the director's creative process we wanted to illustrate how their initial concept was transformed into the workshops.  We used a range of apps to convert the original photographs into graphic drawings, this technique added texture and tone to the images evoking a writer's notebook. We then transposed these images with film footage and audio clips from the actual workshops. The final effect communicates the creative journey and reveals the dynamic interaction between the students, musicians and choreographer.

ADVOCATING A HOLISTIC               APPROACH

We transformed our documentary material: photographs, film footage and audio clips from the Crying in the Wilderness Productions workshops with the musicians and choreographer, into a Writers E-Notebook.

The concept allowed us to creatively animate the director's specialised storytelling approach to engaging students with Autism and Aspergers Syndrome and present the work in an interactive digital format told from a unique perspective.
