Peter Crawley and Dylan Tighe discuss the challenges of transferring Lorca’s play from 1930s Spain to a modern day halting site in Ireland.
Peter Crawley theatre critic is in conversation with theatre director Dylan Tighe about The Trailer Of Bridget Dinnigan. Dylan is directing a forthcoming production which is a translation and adaptation of Federico García Lorca's play The House of Bernarda Alba. In 2008 Dylan contacted the Blanchardstown Traveller Development Group about collaborating on the adaptation and has been working on the development of the work as a full scale production of this work at the Project in 2010.
In Part One, Peter and Dylan discuss the process of translation and adaptation and the challenges of transferring the action of Lorca’s play from 1930s Spain to a modern day halting site in Ireland.
In Part Two, Dylan talks about the input and collaboration of Catherine Joyce and the eleven Traveller women who will take the key roles and how that collaborative process shaped and influenced the adaptation. Dylan also discusses the politics of representation in relation to culturally diverse groups in the theatre.
The Artist in the Community Scheme funded a research phase for the production, while the ongoing development of the work is funded by a Once-Off Award from Arts Council.Recording Date: 07-Dec-2009

In Part One the three choreographers talk about the genesis of Triptik and the way this work challenges preconceptions of who should be on stage, who can make art and who can dance. In Part Two the three choreographers discuss in detail the collaborative process and how it affects the work they create.
Triptik is produced by Ciotóg in association with Project Arts Centre, funded generously by the Arts Council and Dublin City Council, and was inspired by the Bealtaine Festival.Recording Date: 19-Nov-2009
