Vamos Theatre is delighted to be teaming up with Act V to deliver three sessions from their Play's the Thing course. Using tried and tested Vamos techniques, games and exercises, these interactive sessions will look at how we connect, play and create work together. We will explore some of the techniques behind mask work, how we create meaningful connections in our GP training and in our work with people living with Dementia; as well as methods that we are currently using to direct a show in Shanghai from our base in Worcester. This short course will celebrate and champion playfulness, connection, and collaboration. Not suitable for Zoom on a phone. Must use Tablet, Laptop or PC
Cost: £27 for all three sessions
Tues 1st to Thurs 3rd June from 9.30am to 4pm
Imagine you have been shipwrecked on an island! No ordinary desert island, but an enchanted world inhabited by magicians, monsters and tricky spirits. What would happen if you attempted to rule that island?
Annie Eddington, an experienced workshop facilitator, will take participants on a whistle stop tour of Shakespeare's The Tempest in an easily understandable and fun format, using physical theatre and song. They'll become stranded on a desert island and encounter monsters, magicians and fantastical spirits whilst creating their very own storm to top it all off!
Workshop fee: £60 For an application form please email tickets@headgatetheatre.co.uk
