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.

We have had people teach us before who could talk the talk but you can Talk the Talk AND Walk the Walk. That’s a rare thing for us young ‘uns to say!
