Peter Arnott is our Playwright in Residence at the
Genomics Forum at the University of Edinburgh.
Join us in a series of discussion workshops with Peter, where
he'll be talking about source material and quotations he is
discovering at the Forum.
You'll have the opportunity to talk to Peter about his work, and
will be invited to contribute to the Human Genre Project
website, which Peter is managing as part of his residency.
This kicks off at 4pm at the Traverse Bar Cafe,
and is a free, non-ticketed event so there is no need to book
through our box office. Those interested in taking part can simply
arrive on the day.
You can read more about what Peter is discovering at the Forum
on his regular
blog.
This event will also take place on Thursday 24 November.
About Peter's residency
Peter recently embarked on an exciting year-long project at
Edinburgh University's ESRC Genomics Forum as Resident Playwright
for 2011, in a new partnership between the Forum and the Traverse
Theatre.
Based within the Forum at the University of Edinburgh, he is
working alongside Forum members, experts and Fellows as he explores
the subject of genomics, which covers areas as diverse as DNA
profiling, identity politics, plant and animal genetics,
personalised medicine, stem cell research and synthetic biology. Read more
