THEATRE & INVENTION



 Training & Devising with Michael Pigott

Whether you have been thinking about creating new work or you just want to take your performance skills to the next level this is the perfect workshop for you  

Theatre and invention is a training module that looks at how everyone has the capacity to generate theatrical texts. The workshop is based on a devising process created by Michael Pigott where you will explore skills that link the mind, body and the imagination- skills that enable you to become a performer who is present and invested in a moment of performance. Throughout the process you will engage these skills in the invention of theatrical texts exploring what it is that we actually do when we create theatre.

CANNONBAAAAALL!!!!!!(Thursdays 4:30-6:30pm)

In Browntown, everyone moves the same.
In Browntown, everyone even sounds the same.
In Browntown, everyone does the same dull things every day, of every week, of every month, of every year.
 
Then, one fateful day, a troupe of mysterious strangers calling themselves the Cannonball Club appear in Browntown, and things suddenly become more interesting...

Breath of a Shadow (12-15s)

(Saturdays 3:30 -5:30pm)

From the day you're born to the day you die, you're never without it. Even in the darkest night, it follows you wherever you go.
We hardly ever think about it, but it's always there, watching you...Your shadow.
What kind of world does it live in? What secret thoughts and desires does it harbour?
Does it wish you good... or ill?
 
Over the term participants will investigate the idea of shadows and what they represent to them. Through exploration of ensemble theatre and music techniques and experiments with stage lighting and soundscapes, the World of Shadows will be brought to life in this dark and self-exploratory workshop.
