Reflections After Leading a Cross-Border Theatre Workshop
The journey to Derry took me across a frontier that is barely visible on the landscape yet remains historically profound. I had been invited to The Playhouse, an arts centre established in 1992, to facilitate a weekend residency for young actors from both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. They arrived on a damp Friday evening, bringing heavy backpacks and an understandable degree of caution. Rarely have I encountered a group so initially guarded in a rehearsal room.
Community theatre has been utilised extensively for peacebuilding in this region since the 1980s, offering a neutral ground for difficult conversations. My objective for the weekend was to help these teenagers devise a short physical performance about migration and belonging. During the first evening, they were impeccably polite to one another, yet they stuck rigidly to their respective geographical groups.
