Created during COVID-19 LOCKDOWN 2020, these videos are designed to give members of Performance Collective Stranraer [PCS] an insight into the working practice of artists living in Scotland right now... We thought that it would be an exciting thing for any performance-interested person to try too!
Our first Art Guide artist is PCS Artistic Director, Drew Taylor-Wilson. Watch extracts from some of his theatre, learn more about his arts practice and delve into some creative tasks inspired by his style, and other artists he is inspired by.
