Opening Doors

Workshop takes place in the Hall

Based on the festival theme, we will create a brand new format.

The strengths and preferences of the group will be implemented into a new long-form which will be developed and rehearsed during this workshop, which is half class, half rehearsal.

The workshop will combine ensemble building, literal and abstract interpretations (via group 'play-storming') of what it means to open a door as a performer, and a series of directed theatre games and exercises to help devise a new form.

The newly formed international ensemble will perform at the festival that week.
