The award winning Bryony Kimmings, who's recent work with Complicite, the National Theatre and Soho Theatre received rave reviews, offers members a fantastic opportunity to work with her on creating new theatre.
This one off day-long session takes you on a journey through the process of creation. Using your own stories as fuel for new pieces of work Bryony takes you on a whistle-stop tour of starting points, devising techniques, structures and self-editing.
This workshop may be of particular interest to actors wanting to make solo work from autobiographical starting points. Participants will also work with Bryony on honesty and emotional register - touching on some of the techniques she used for A Pacifist’s Guide to the War on Cancer (Complicite / National Theatre / Home Manchester). Bryony's Fake It 'til You Make It (The Southbank Centre / Theatre Works / Soho Theatre) also recently ran to top reviews.
Inspired by the taboos, stigmas, anomalies and social injustices around her, Bryony creates work to provoke change - setting her sights on the impossible and unconquerable, and turns the unspeakable into the years' hottest topic.
Previous works have seen the artist retracing an STI to its source, spending 7 days in a controlled environment in a constant state of intoxication and becoming a pop star invented by a 9 year old.
Bryony's award winning work has toured across the world.
Bryony's company is set to explore three huge topics in the next three years with some very exciting new partners!
