Walking into Contacting the World 2006, the atmosphere was electric.

Over a hundred young people, from all corners of the world were whooping,

dancing and singing together – and that was just in the ﬁrst moments of

meeting each other. The twinning process had allowed the participants to go

on an amazing journey: befriending, being inspired by and understanding

‘strangers’. And in doing so, learning more about themselves. This book is

essential for every individual who works with young people, and for anyone

who works in theatre.

This is a practical, necessary, passionate book. Noel Greig understands how

theatre is a collaborative and collective process based on the powerful

experiences of individual voices and desires. For over three decades, he has

forged work through creative partnerships in speciﬁc contexts, producing

theatre that has brought urgent, liberating and poetic experiences to diverse

audiences. That is what has made his understanding of international projects

so full of meaning, relevance and beauty. This book connects us with our

abilities to create new ways of understanding our worlds.

As a ‘founding father’ of Contacting the World , Noel Greig has guided this

international creative exchange through many phases of growth, experiment

and achievement. No-one could be better placed to explore the key ideas

behind the project, and to suggest how others can use the techniques

developed through Contacting the World to inform and inspire their own new

theatre collaborations.
