DOGWOOD PRODUCTIONS
Checking In At
The Bel View....
Dogwood has worked with Going For Independence (GFI) to create a new audio drama in four episodes. GFI is the Teesside organisation supporting the blind and partially-sighted with groups in Redcar, Darlington, Hartlepool and Stockton. Their members created storylines, recorded sound effects and performed alongside professional actors to bring to life the Bel View guest house, set in the fictitious Teesside seaside resort of Whitborough-by-the-Sea. The project started in June, capturing the real experiences of holidays past and living by the sea.
The drama features a young couple as they struggle with new careers, running the recently inherited guest house. Each week new guests arrive, looking forward to that traditional British seaside holiday. With the smell of burning bacon and unexplained noises from the attic, what could possibly go wrong?
Dogwood would be pleased to hear from other groups who might be interested in creating future episodes of life at Bel View.
Going For Independence is a national organisation for social benefit, based in Saltburn. It supports those with sight loss and their families, in providing training, information and advice on independent living, and creating specialist and leisure activities.
