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 YESYESNONODirty HareEnsemble Not Found, and ThisEgg to the building to show us how it's done. 

Booking is now open for our September workshop with YESYESNONO. 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 (15-16 Triton Street, London NW1 3BF). The venue is wheelchair accessible. 


Devising Towards the Audience with YESYESNONO

Award-winning YESYESNONO take you through their devising method, from the devices they use to the way they consider dramaturgy. The workshop explores the audience as the central component of any show’s dramaturgy and introduces participants to exercises and ideas designed to keep the audience at the centre of any making process. This is a practical workshop involving writing, creating, and hands-on exercises to give you a wider toolkit for making your own work.
