North Devon Hospice Dissolving Boundaries Conference.

This was the especially commissioned opening performance for this two day international conference exploring issues around death & dying, & looked at the complex & shifting relationships between the patient, the family carer & the professional. This was followed up with a workshop on using drama with people with life limiting conditions.

As part of this season exploring the relationship between theatre & terrorism past & present, wolf + water was invited to give a presentation on their experience of using drama to work with & in situations of terrorism, in northern ireland & the caucuses.

Devised with the bideford “chapter” of many directions theatre co., this was an interactive theatre show designed to help people with learning difficulties and service providers work together to improve access and inclusion in the community. it visited community resource centres & arts venues across devon & was also performed for the learning disability partnership board.

This was a community peace building conference for young people from both sides of the Irish Border.

Wolf + Water “fooled” this three day conference of mediators, social scientists & conflict management professionals from across Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland & Iceland, as well as running workshops on the use of theatre in exploring conflict.

An especially commissioned performance for this conference of parents of & professionals with young people with cancer & leukaemia. Our show took the audience through the journeys of a couple of families & their children from diagnosis through treatment & in some cases recovery, in some cases relapse & in some cases death, in a performance that was funny as it was moving, we hope.

This was the second conference organised by the Community Foundation of Northern Ireland & Harvard University that Wolf + Water have been theatre company in residence for, the first being the notorious Lusty Beg conference of 2001.

One of our most difficult commissions ever – to create a thirty minute show that explored cultural attitudes to death for this great conference organised by North Devon Hospice.
