DESCRIPTION:What happens to a play when it moves between cultures and lang
 uages – and what does it mean for that translation to come to life in pe
 rformance? Led by Foreign Affairs co-artistic directors Camila França and
  Trine Garrett\, joined by two associate actors\, this hands-on session of
 fers a window into the creative decisions that shape how a play finds its 
 voice in a new context. With over fifteen years of experience sharing worl
 d theatre\, nine UK/world premieres\, and contributions to over 30 new Eng
 lish translations\, Foreign Affairs brings rare insight into the art of tr
 anslating for the stage. Expect a short presentation on Foreign Affairs' a

  for open discussion throughout. No experience of a specific language need

 ere translation meets performance. Bridging the literary and the theatrica
