This exciting week will be facilitated by Gemma Gallagher from Shadowbox and focus on exploring and devising theatre from our own ideas and reflections.

The week is a chance to work with new people in a fun and supportive way and will culminate in a public presentation on 20th August.

The workshop programme will run over 5 days and will explore Shadowbox’s tradition of creating visual theatre from the ideas of the actors. It will explore:

Heightening Sensory creativity and imagination, improvisation, use of music and sound in theatre, non verbal communication, ensemble work and Devising techniques.
