More and more established companies, as well as a multitude of dedicated theatre makers, are putting devised work at the heart of new productions. And they need actors who understand the process and are prepared for the rigours of this kind of work.
This workshop helps prepare actors for working in this free, imaginative, collaborative and exciting discipline. We'll look at exercises to unlock the imagination and explore some techniques that act as great starting points for creating your own devised work.
Having the tools to work without the security of a script or known end point is an important part of every actor's arsenal.
