Calling all form benders, genre mashers, anti-disciplinarians, and process heads: this one's for you.
Like you, we're obsessed with thinking about the way things are made.
So this season, we've gathered the UK's most exciting established and up-and-coming theatre companies to lift the lid on their approaches to devising.
In an industry that so often treats makers as too risky or unwieldy to resource, we're creating a workshop series that puts collaborative process at its centre, making visible the many possible tools and approaches, while also diving headfirst into the unknown.
For artists, the more you run your own rooms, the harder it becomes to find chances to peek into other people's processes. We want to give you the space to expand your horizons and be a novice again, all while championing companies at the forefront of a bold new wave of theatre making.
This autumn, we're welcoming YESYESNONO, Dirty Hare, Ensemble Not Found, and ThisEgg to the building to show us how it's done.
Booking is now open for our November workshop with Ensemble Not Found. Sign up to our Artist Newsletter to be the first to hear about future workshop opportunities and artist events.
Workhops are free to attend and take place at New Diorama Theatre, Theatre Deli, and partner venues.
FABULATION... ADAPTATION... CARNATION... <3
Thursday 22nd January, 11:00am-1:00pm
Location: New Diorama Theatre (NW1 3BF)
piss / CARNATION are a doll duo named after the german 'pissnelken' - flowers that grow from pools of human pee by the motorway. This, like devising, is a process of transformation.
Join piss / CARNATION to explore their process of adaptation and reimagining. The workshop will ask questions including: how do we work with source material that we love, but that refuses to love us back? How do we write with (and beyond?) negative feeling? How do we make it all beautiful?
Always queer but this is for everyone + anyone who writes, makes, or wants to.
Reserve your space by booking at the link below. Spaces are first-come, first-served and capacity is limited.
