Looking for a space to create, experiment, and collaborate? Join us to explore our collaborative approach and connect with fellow theatre-makers.

We’re bringing back our ensemble workshops—an opportunity to explore our approach to theatre-making in a playful, collaborative setting.

These sessions offer a fresh chance for associates, past ensemble members, and participants from our workshop programmes, as well as new practitioners, to come together and develop their practice. Through shared exploration and creative exercises, we’ll practice ensemble techniques, explore new approaches, and deepen our collaborative theatre-making process.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch!

What We’ll Be Doing: These workshops focus on collective practice, creative exploration, and experimenting with new approaches. Here’s what you can look forward to:

• Warm-up & Ensemble Games – Get moving, connect with the group, and set the stage for creativity.
• Creative Exploration – Engage with a variety of techniques and approaches introduced by a facilitator, offering fresh perspectives on theatre-making.
• Experimentation & Collaboration – Put new ideas into practice, collaborate with peers, and explore the material in a supportive space.
• Wrap-up & Reflection – Share insights, discuss challenges, and celebrate the session’s discoveries.

Takeaways:

• Fresh perspectives and insights into cross-cultural theatre-making.
• Practical tools for collaborating and experimenting within a group.
• Connections with fellow theatre-makers to continue sharing ideas and collaborating.
