About the workshops:
No previous experience required, just a willingness to play and have a go. Please wear comfortable clothes you can move in and bring a water bottle.
Workshop 1: Saturday 7 December, 1pm-4pm
Workshop 2: Sunday 8 December, 9am-12pm
Come to one or both of these free workshops.
On Saturday we will focus on games, play and having fun in order to build confidence in performing and devising. Working with body, voice and ensemble we will experiment with practical tools to strengthen your performance work, be that theatre, comedy, public speaking and more.
On Sunday we will experiment with games and techniques we can use to devise work. We will play with techniques used in improvisation, physical theatre and text work to explore a bag of tricks to make and share your work.
These workshops will be fun, low key, great for beginners as well as those with experience and ideas already on the boil. Please get in touch if you have any questions or concerns via kyle.walmsley@gmail.com
