We regularly run devising workshops helping students away from the safety of Naturalism towards abstract, outside-the-box performance styles, including Physical Theatre.
Our devising workshops help students prepare for exam work and can take place in the context of practitioners such as Artaud and Grotowski.
We are often brought in at the beginning of the devising process to help students explore stimuli and approach teamwork, or half way through rehearsals to aid the creative process and help with editing and selection or, towards the end, to focus on staging and production issues.
They were absolutely raving about their experience … I was particularly pleased for one of my sixth form who seemed to find himself listened to for possibly the first time in ages!

… very impressed with the quality, ingenuity and professionalism of your work. It was a very instructive yet friendly environment for the students to encounter a new dimension to Drama.
Head of Drama
The students all really enjoyed the Physical theatre workshops and have certainly taken what you taught us on board. The sixth form are all set to explore Romeo and Juliet physically and Year 10 can't wait to get devising again next year. It's always a bit of a gamble getting people in to do workshops - but you were worth every penny. Thank you for inspiring us all.
