Playing the Margins: Get Involved
By Anne Welsh, on 13 May 2011
There’s another chance to take part in a Playing the Margins workshop towards the end of the month. From the project’s tumblog:
Are you involved in the performing arts?
Do you ever find yourself doodling in the margins of scripts?
Do you mark up your prompt books?
If so, please come to an informal, experimental workshop exploring how actors, directors, theatre critics and other readers annotate texts in the past and present.
Explore how earlier readers engaged with play-texts, prompt-books and other texts by taking part in this workshop using texts from UCL Special Collections.
Full details, booking information, and some lovely illustrations of marginalia, available on the tumblog.
Playing the Margins was conceived by MA LIS students Paris O’Donnell and Sian Prosser; is funded by UCL’s Train and Engage Scheme; and makes use of materials from UCL LIbrary Services Special Collections.

We had foreseen that this would provide a relaxed and creative way for participants to record their reactions to the earlier discussion. We realised that the unfamiliar interface of the graphics tablet diverted some attention and energy from the purpose of the exercise and are thinking about different ways to structure this part of the exercise for the next workshop.
