A Guide to Creating Verbatim Theatre | National Theatre

Verbatim theatre is a type of theatre-making where the text is generated from interviews with 'real life' people. In this second film, Robin Belfield gives advice on how to create your own piece of verbatim theatre featuring footage from a workshop he conducted at the National Theatre in the summer of 2013.

How can one be expected two condense three-plus hours of dialogue - four the "nucleus of the story," as you call it - into only five words when you needed six words to describe a seven-minute video?!

[@doomtho42]

[@jbrbbrfan]

anything that could ever happen happens in some parallel universe (many worlds interpretation) i am dead serious and any scientist would say this theory is proably right (its unproveable right now)
there are actually trillions of parallel universes where the girl in this video who is wearing sneakers at 5:58 was 100 percent barefoot instead of wearing sneakers for that whole rehearsal and every other rehearsal she did
In other universes, the sneakered girl at 5:58 was wearing socks instead of sneakers in the above rehearsal and other rehearsals. In other universes she was wearing flip flops instead of sneakers for the above rehearsal and most other rehearsals
it's true its damn true.
