Taking centre stage
Home: a personal story
In May 2012, our performance
group premiered a new production
called ‘Home’ at the Platform
Theatre in Glasgow. It focussed
on what home meant to the
group. Jon Reid, our Creative
Arts Tutor and director of the
play explained:
“The performance explored home as a place
of sanctuary and safety, a scary new venture,
a place of staff and routines, a lonely place
and a place of warmth and family. It’s
a fantastic journey the group have been on.”
The actors communicated through a variety
of ways, including signing, gesture and
vocalisations.
Actor Yvonne talked about the group’s work
on ‘Home’:
“Ian and Anne dance, Eilidh and Ian do the
burglar scene. It’s the first play I’ve been in...
It’s about us, acting ourselves in a house.”
Asked what she enjoyed about the experience
most Yvonne said:
“...being with other people.”
