Fun to do, interesting to watch: Movement, Rhythm and storytelling

About the Workshop

This workshop explores ways in which we can work swiftly and playfully to create watchable, dynamic mini-performances. We will create movement from accessible task prompts, develop meaning by adjusting tempo and rhythm, and integrate words for another layer of storytelling. Along the way we will keep asking: what makes this interesting to watch?
To take part, all that’s needed is curiosity, and an interest in performance. This workshop is designed for all levels, from those with zero performance experience through to working creatives wanting some time to make and be invigorated.
