Six Inches of Travel by Josie Melia
The TAB team worked from January through May 2000 in three schools in the Brighton area. The first school, Falmer High School, crafted an entertaining mix of dance, live music, and drama to explore the theme of sibling rivalry.
The second school, East Brighton College of Media Arts (Marina High), devised a more abstract, physical, piece of theatre. Patcham High school put together a multi-media drama centered around a key moment in the script. They shot their own video footage, and devised their own script which they presented as a polished, fully integrated, mini play.
Finally, a full production of Six Inches of Travel was performed by students from Varndean Sixth Form College. Josie Melia, the writer, attended early workshops with the cast and then developed a final draft of the script tailoring the characters to suit the individual skills of the actors.
