Titus Andronicus StoryBoards

Information on companies involved

The Royal Shakespeare Company and London Connected Learning Center work together alongside 5 secondary and primary schools in Lambeth on various projects. All the students involved have an opportunity to work with practitioners from the RSC and LCLC to gain a deeper understanding of the plays. 

The Royal Shakespeare Company is a registered charity based in Stratford upon Avon that helps teachers and students learn about Shakespeare through the use of its programmes and live shows. It helps connect writers, actors and artists to produce plays based upon Shakespeare’s own work as well as new work from living writers. The Royal Shakespeare Company will be working alongside the drama academy to assist them in their development of acting, working on key aspects of their performance to enhance their abilities as actors and also prepare them for acting in front of a camera. Also, enhancing their understanding of texts such as the work of Shakespeare which will also further develop their performance during the piece. 

The London Connected Learning Center (LCLC), part of the Education Trust, is an organisation committed to helping schools and students harness the potential of new technologies. From better communication and more effective administration, to improved teaching and learning. We will be working alongside a professional film maker Sam Lawler who has produced multiple documentaries. He will be meeting with us throughout the project assisting our film making ability and teaching us the skills required to produce the piece. Some of the skills we will be learning to use are using boom microphones to record audio on the day of filming, and also assisting us with some camera techniques such as focus pulls. He will also aid us in developing our concepts for the piece and putting forward ideas of how we could produce them, and then putting these ideas forward to the drama academy for discussion so that we can make a compromise for what we want to do within the project. 

J.P Morgan has a net worth of 41.5 billion, he was an American financier, banker, philanthropist and art collector who dominated corporate finance and industrial consolidation during his time. The role of J.P Morgan was financially supporting the project, providing a budget to each of the groups allowing them to purchase props and costumes, they also provided free tickets to view the play of Titus Andronicus at the Royal Shakespeare Company theater and payed for the workshop sessions provided to both us and the drama academy by members of the RSC and LCLC.

Example of a Brief

There are many comissions available for many different careers, within Art there are multiple comissions available ranging from designs, advertising and illustration. One brief I found online stated.

Transported is seeking an artist or designer to create a series of up to 10 artworks that will be reproduced in vinyl wraps on articulated lorry trailers. These designs will be inspired by the people, the landscape or the ‘place’ of Boston Borough and South Holland and will travel around Lincolnshire, The UK and Europe.

The brief is a comission which can be completed by an individual or smaller company, the brief states that 10 designs need to be produced. The dimensions of the lorry's are provided and additional information such as what must be included e.g. the trailers identity number and the company logos must also be taken into consideration for the designs. The themes of the designs must represent the culture, landscape or community of the area and must be of a high quality and standard.

Once the artist(s) have been selected for the comission they must follow the guidelines however the brief is felxible to the extent that the artist is able to create what they feel like best fits the brief.
