_The Workshops provide an intense, creative space in which to share and develop our theatre-making process.The Actors as Artists Workshops aim to push boundaries, deepen knowledge and enrich the experience of performance for all involved. Ultimately, we want to establish a hub that enables actors to be in charge of their creative lives.

This ten session workshop investigates a single classic text in depth. We explore the world of the play including character and context, and discover playful approaches to bring the text to life. There will be an informal sharing to an invited audience in the final session.

The result will be a very exciting and personal response to the text made by the group.

The workshops cover:

1. LIFE STORIES - working with the actor's life experience as tool and inspiration for performance (exploring personal experiences, discovering and following impulses, identifying and releasing blocks, connecting to and receiving from others, expressing and playing with emotions).

2. CRAFT WORK - giving the performer the knowledge required to shape and focus their performance material. We explored the languages of contemporary performance helping the actor to develop their own voice (analyse and experience 20th / 21st century performance practices, play with the architecture of space in performance, discovering their contemporary voice as a performer, expand their expectations of the audience/performer relationship).
