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 October workshop with Dirty Hare. 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 and partner venues.
History - why it hurts and how we solved it with Dirty Hare
Monday 20th October, 10:30am-2:30pm
In 2023, we made a show called GUNTER. We took it to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where it won a Scotsman Fringe First, before transferring to the Royal Court Theatre in 2024.
Get into the weeds of how we made GUNTER - how we, as a company, use (and disregard) history, generate material and - in this case - grapple with endings... We'll unpack key moments from the show, share the s*** first ideas, and talk about why gut instincts are often right.
This workshop is for theatre makers and theatre companies at any stage of their career. We will share material, practical exercises and unpack the making process.
Reserve your space by booking at the link below. Spaces are first-come, first-served and capacity is limited.
