\"\"<\/a>English tutor Mary Morrison<\/strong><\/a> and Gaelic tutor Archie Campbell<\/a><\/strong> put on scriptwriting hats recently in a remarkable collaboration that saw cross-community involvement in the staging of a traditional tale – Gille an Fheadain Duibh (The Lad with the Black Chanter).<\/p>\n

The story was chosen from the “Thugam agus Bhuam<\/strong>“<\/a> collection, as told by P\u00e0druig Moireasdan, with his own grandson (also P\u00e0druig) taking the central role – as well as adding to the musical accompaniment.<\/p>\n

Here’s the programme<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Originally a Gaelic tale, the full stagescript<\/a><\/strong> was written bilingually, giving the option of English or Gaelic for each character – with an English “subtitling” system in place for any members of the audience who might struggle with the Gaelic sections. Could this be a model for replication elsewhere? The local group would be pleased to offer advice and encouragement to others who wish to try it out.<\/p>\n

Mary talks here<\/strong><\/a> in English about how the project came about, and the high degree of community involvement (of both young and old) in all aspects of the production – dramatic, musical, and artistic.<\/p>\n

Archie talks here<\/a><\/strong> in Gaelic about the challenge of writing for speech, and discusses how participating in this kind of project can be helpful for learners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
