Full event details

Drama and Performance – University Taster

This workshop is split into two parts, A talk that explores the different routes into higher education and student life as a drama student and a practical workshop that gives a taste of a lecture at university. For this workshop we have several subjects to cover. Below is a list of the specific practical workshops you can choose to go with the talk. We can also offer a series of workshops running over a number of weeks to cover all of this content for your students.

- Stereotypes and spontaneous improvisation

- Grotowski’s ‘The Wave’ and Personal Props

- Exploring your environment – using sound and space

- Developing work with theatre practitioners (We have a list of practitioners we will use but feel free to make any requests and we can see what we can do for you.)
