Who could benefit from this course?
This workshop is for actors and theatre makers looking to deepen their ability to collaborate, build ensemble energy, and connect more intuitively with fellow performers. It is also valuable for directors, movement practitioners, and other creatives interested in collective creation. Whether you’re experienced or new to ensemble work, this workshop will enhance your ability to listen, respond, and create as one.
How does it work?
The workshop is a 4-hour, immersive experience where participants engage in a series of exercises designed to build connection, trust, and collaboration. Each activity emphasises listening, responsiveness, and creating energy as a unified group.
What do you gain?
Participants will gain a deeper understanding of ensemble dynamics and the benefits of collective creation. By focusing on listening, trust, and shared experience, you’ll strengthen your ability to collaborate effectively in any creative setting. You’ll walk away with practical tools for fostering connection, group energy, and mutual support in ensemble work, while also rediscovering theatre's ritualistic nature. This workshop offers a space to step away from individual performance pressures, instead embracing the process of creating together as one.
