“Jabuti Theatre\u2019s Paper Memories is an exhilarating performance for children aged 7+ about migration, identity and the power of memories. Using aerial-dance, puppetry and music, we are brought into the bright and colourful memories of Tali, a refugee girl arriving in Scotland with her family.<\/p>\n
The family feels strange and other, with a desperate need to fit in and forget. Tali, told not to remember, finds her memories crumpling and ripping before her eyes, until her family realises that the only way to keep them together, to be a family in this new place, is to remember. Paper Memories uses captivating music and stunning visuals to bring to life memories of wedding parties, chasing chickens and dancing in the air with birds.<\/p>\n
Written by Mariem Omari and directed by Rachael Macintyre, Paper Memories takes the audience on a visual journey exploring the importance of memories, and how they make us who we are.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe show\u2019s use of music is so compelling, though, and the visual images of the voyage so gorgeous, that the story becomes steadily more entrancing as it goes on\u2026\u201d \u2013 The Scotsman, about Moonbeam on a Cat\u2019s Ear<\/p>\n

Eden Court was opened in April 1976. At the time, the design was strikingly modern. As the only large scale performance venue in the region, the building was designed by architects Law & Dunbar-Nasmith to house all types of performing arts from opera to popular music, concerts, ballet, modern dance, drama and films.<\/p>\n
The 80-foot wide stage with a motorised centre can be adapted for different performances or moved back to reveal an orchestra pit for 60 musicians. The horseshoe shaped auditorium comfortably seats 830 or for smaller scale performances, with the upper tiers dark, it has the feel of a more intimate theatre.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were determined that it would not be just a good theatre but the best of its size currently being built anywhere in the world.\u201d
\nSir James Dunbar-Nasmith, architect.<\/p>\n
The theatre is sited in the grounds of what had been the official residence of the Bishops of Moray. Built in the nineteenth century for Bishop Robert Eden, the house was incorporated into the new arts centre providing dressing rooms and offices and later on, a small cinema. It gave up its name to the arts complex and was renamed the Bishop\u2019s Palace.<\/p>\n
Budget constraints at the time prevented the building of a second studio theatre planned for the south west corner of the site.
\nRedeveloped for the 21st century<\/p>\n
By the turn of the century it was apparent that the existing buildings were no longer adequate. Eden Court was successfully attracting visitors from all over the region not just to watch but also to take part in community events and the arts education activities on offer. It was proving difficult to accommodate all its users, many parts of the building were in need of serious refurbishment, and new legislation required better access for people with disabilities. Eden Court needed to expand and redevelop or the Highlands would lose the cultural centre it by now took for granted.<\/p>\n
Following a major appeal and two years of closure Eden Court reopened in November 2007 as the one of the best equipped arts centres in the country. The Victorian Bishop\u2019s Palace and 1976 theatre, both Grade A Listed, were retained and two new extensions added providing a second theatre, two new cinemas, two dance and drama studios and three floors of purpose built dressing rooms. The architects Page\/ Park have successfully brought together buildings from thee different centuries to create the biggest arts centre in Scotland.<\/p>\n
Thorough restoration of the Bishop\u2019s Palace has brought back some of its former Victorian glory and outside, a new entrance and landscaped grounds means Eden Court \u2018faces\u2019 the city centre allowing visitors to finally enjoy the riverside setting.<\/p>","slug":"one-touch-theatre-eden-court","image":{"url":"https:\/\/thetouringnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/eden_court2.jpg","id":1365,"extension":"jpg","width":800,"height":533,"sizes":{"thumbnail":{"width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/thetouringnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/eden_court2-150x150.jpg"},"medium":{"width":300,"height":199,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/thetouringnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/eden_court2-300x199.jpg"},"et-pb-post-main-image":{"width":400,"height":250,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/thetouringnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/eden_court2-400x250.jpg"},"et-pb-portfolio-image":{"width":400,"height":284,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/thetouringnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/eden_court2-400x284.jpg"}}},"address":"Bishops Road","city":"Inverness","country":"United Kingdom","province":"Inverness-Shire","zip":"IV3","phone":"01463 239841","website":"https:\/\/www.eden-court.co.uk\/","stateprovince":"Inverness-Shire","geo_lat":57.472852,"geo_lng":-4.230593,"json_ld":{"@type":"Place","name":"One Touch Theatre \/ Jim Love Studio, Eden Court","description":"<p>Eden Court was opened in April 1976.
