The Workshops 2012

The contents of these workshops originate from our work with Jacques Lecoq at his school in Paris and have evolved over the last twenty years into an intensive professional training program.

These workshops function on many levels and are open to anyone who wants to explore and develop their personal creative power in the art of acting, whether they are experienced professionals or enthusiastic beginners.

All workshops are taught in English. The minimum age to participate is 18 years old.

All workshops are residential

The work is practice based and is approached in three complimentary ways:

Physical training - developing movement technique and releasing the restrictive tensions that inhibit the natural power and expression of body and voice.   

Improvisation - specially developed training exercises giving the supportive framework for the actor to find the dramatic or comic play.

Creation - the participants put into practice the work initiated in the technical and improvisation classes.

An atmosphere of mutual respect and trust is carefully cultivated, encouraging learning and allowing artistic risks to be taken in an honest and safe environment.

By guaranteeing working in small groups we are able to give the right attention to each individual and assess carefully their needs for developing their work.
