EXCITING THEATRE WORKSHOP

Another Training notice for all you actors:

INVISIBLE THEATRE WORKSHOP

An intensive fun-packed, charged, hands-on workshop suited to people who want skills experience & knowledge in creating issue-based scenes that are performed in public without the public knowing the scenes have been staged.

Come and lose yourself within the mysteries of invisible theatre and learn techniques of the Theatre of the Oppressed and those pioneered by Augusto Boal, Keith Johnston, Clive Barker and many others.

Taking place in London UK 8th – 11th November 2007

Led by Tony Cealy

The workshop cost is £150.00 Spaces are limited.
To secure your place or for more information contact Noh Budget Films PO Box 45770 London SW16 5WS 07956 877358 info@nohbudgetfilms.freeserve.co.uk

The workshop is completely interactive and peppered with creative action methods that will take you through a series of dynamic exercises, image theatre and role-play, to devise a piece of invisible theatre that will be performed in public.

In this workshop you will practice, play and perform techniques from the ‘theatre of the oppressed’. As a group we will choose an issue to explore which we will use in our final show. Participants will be encouraged to challenge their preconceptions about the final piece throughout the workshop.

Though no drama experience is necessary to participate you must be willing to actively explore new methods and best practice learnt through skills sharing & networking in a safe and supportive environment.

Stagework.org.uk website - USEFUL for actors

http://www.stagework.org.uk

Since its launch in March 2004, Stagework has become a massive and growing archive of performance-related material including film of rehearsals, performance, auditions and interviews with actors, directors, designers and administrative personnel.

Stagework unpacks the process behind key productions for students and for general life-long learners; it offers rich media content and teacher support for the National Curriculum in English, Drama, Citizenship, RE and History; it enhances the understanding of theatre as one of the creative industries and points out new career possibilities to young people.

Stagework looks at how performances are made, who makes them, and why. Importantly for teachers, it is also a repository for debate, analysis and discussion framed by the issues raised in the staging of plays such as the National’s production of Henry V at the time of the last invasion of Iraq, and its adaptation in 2003-04 of Philip Pullman’s epic anti-clerical trilogy His Dark Materials.

Stagework meets the needs of curricular audiences by covering widely-studied plays in production, such as Shakespeare’s Richard III and Brecht’s The Caucasian Chalk Circle, while also appealing to all audiences with entertaining interactive material which enhances the theatregoing experience.
