Developing a utilitarian museum theatre character

Episode 6,   Aug 30, 2023, 05:46 AM

In episode 6, host Jo Clyne muses with performer/writer/composer Michael Mills from Heaps Good Productions on the process of developing his signature character, singing palaeontologist Professor Flint.  We discuss the route to starting your own museum theatre company, working with youth performers, and the many opportunities that come with creating a utilitarian character who can go back in time to sing with Mary Anning, host museum birthday parties, inspire book week costumes, and who may even receive fan mail…
