Course dates for 2023: Please contact us for available dates

This five-day course is for anyone who wants to explore and develop movement and devising techniques. Amateurs and professionals are equally welcome! The aim of this course is to make physical and devised theatre accessible for all to develop.

Through this course one will:

-       Work physically

-       Be creative

-       Challenge imagination and physical abilities

-       Explore improvisation games and techniques

-       Develop small and bigger movement sequences

-       Generate performative qualities (humour, contact, status, interaction)

-       Explore movement dynamics (speed, repetition, physical contact, rhythm/pace)

-       Devise a script based on the input of the participants

-       Learn to open up to experimentation and creativity in a group

-       Combine text and movement to create a small devised piece of physical theatre

The theme for the course will be based on contemporary issues, proposed by the participants and will use key words for creation and experimentation on physicality and text.
