Makers on Making: Workshops

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. 

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.

Punk Adaptation with RashDash

Monday 27th April, 11am-1pm

Location: Theatre Deli (107 Leadenhall St, London EC3A 4AF)

Are you also seeing punk's revival, fifty years after its initial surge? Do punk and fascism have an awkward, symbiotic relationship? Is punk a form, genre, aesthetic, or ideology when applied to theatre making? And — whatever it is — what happens to text when punk invades?

Using Ibsen's A Doll's House as a starting point, we'll work with Abbi Greenland of the legendary RashDash to begin making something new. You don't need to know the play. If you play an instrument and it's easy to carry with you, feel free to bring it. We'll do a bit of writing, a little bit of moving, and quite a lot of improvising.

Spaces are free but limited — booking is first come, first served.
