Workshops

1 -3 hour sessions which give students the confidence and practical tools required for creating their own theatre. These workshops can be opened up to both GCSE and A-Level students.

Students will be familiarised with the working methods and performance styles of a number of practitioners and related play texts. Students will be encouraged to share ideas whilst watching and learning from each other. We use flip charts with detailed notes and sentences to use in exams, alongside improvisation, mask, chorus, ensemble, text, tableaux, voice and physical work.

  
 
 
 
 
Our aim is to provide fun, lively and clear workshops that are flexible to suit your requirements. You can combine two practitioners together or use a set text with a choice of practitioner. Essentially you can design your own workshop and theme. Options are as follows:

Artaud, Berkoff, Brecht, Stanislavski, Godber

A Doll’s House
The Seagull
The Trial
Metamorphosis
Our Country’s Good
War Poetry
Edgar Allen Poe 
Lysistrata
Bouncers, Teechers, Shakers
Top Girls
Fairytales
