Animal Farm, Dalbeattie High School & TAG Theatre production
This 30 minute documentary (2007), commissioned by TAG Theatre, features music, costumes and set composed, designed and constructed by pupils of the school, assisted and coordinated throughout 8 weeks residency by theatre professionals. The end result, an ambitious theatrical production of George Orwell's Animal Farm, was performed by the pupils and staff and had a public run of three nights. I was present for the full eight weeks, gathering hours of interviews and fly on the wall footage in the run up to opening night. The public performances were also filmed using multi-camera setups, assisted by pupils.
