Notes: The Arches Award for Stage Directors - in association with NTS Workshop and Traverse Theatre - offers two emergent, Scottish-based directors the chance to stage a fully-funded production. This year's winners are Cora Bissett and Rosie Kellagher and their productions will be presented at the Traverse as a double bill. Previous winners include Neil Doherty's Tone Clusters and Davey Anderson's Snuff which appeared at the Traverse during the 2006 and 2005 Fringe Festivals. | ||||
Synopsis: Amada is inspired by a tale from Chilean writer Isabel Allende. Using the remarkable singing voice of 'Basque-wegian' Nerea Bello, intense physical performance, visual poetry and Spanish guitar, Cora Bissett will recreate the colour, passion and sensuality of Latin America. Cora is an actor and musician who has played with the bands Swelling Meg, Arab Strap and Mogwai. Recently she's had key roles in multi-award winning film Red Road and NTS' Wolves in the Walls. | ||||
