In this zine workshop with Cade & MacAskill, you are invited to delve into the nuts and bolts of making processes, both real and imagined, and create a collective zine or hybrid instruction manual that foregrounds and splices processes of creation. Drawing inspiration from recipe books, how-to videos, instructions and diagrams, this fun collaborative workshop will be a chance to work instinctively and responsively with the group, moving beyond the realms of practical possibility to discover the creative potential of our collective imagination.
Cade & MacAskill are creating a zine called ‘The Making of The Making of’, to accompany their new show ‘The Making of Pinocchio’. The project weaves together a fictional making process for an imagined version of Pinocchio with their own real experiences of gender transition, and asks what it means to become a ‘real boy’.
About the event leaders:
Rosana Cade and Ivor MacAskill are renowned queer live artists based in Glasgow, creating and performing their unique works nationally and internationally in a wide range of contexts. Their work, together and individually, straddles the worlds of contemporary theatre, live art, queer cabaret, film, children’s performance, site-specific and socially engaged practices. They also both create work as individuals and in various other collaborations.
