The Den - Doodan!!

Although 'The Den' seems like such a long time ago now the 'making of' video has just been published so thought it was the perfect opportunity to post about the amazing project that I got involved with for 2 very cold weeks in November! 'The Den' is a piece set in the future, in a world where laws have been put into place restricting where children are allowed to be born. The piece is centred around this Den which the illegal children have created and the only thing you really need to know about the Den is that no adults are allowed in the den and no adults leave the den. The R&D phase of this new play allowed us to completely explore the world of 'The Den', particularly getting to grips with the language spoken by the Den members (Doodan, techno, and slice; just a couple of examples) and the physical side of living in the wilderness (yes...there was a parkour boot camp, and I survived!)

Please check out the below video, where our director/writer Gbemisola Ikumelo talks more eloquently about 'The Den' than I have!
