European Arts Co.

WORKSHOPS:

We have several years’ experience of running fun, interactive workshops with school, college and university students in the UK and overseas. For example, in 2003, we were invited to do a workshop for teaching professionals by the British council in Athens. It is often the case that workshops are a good way of complementing the performances for students, many of whom are seeing a piece of theatre for the first time. Working with the actors, the students get to boss us about. Nobody is put on the spot or made to ‘act’. Each student can get as involved as they like. The only people who end up looking silly are us, and the sillier the better. Techniques used include Forum Theatre, Impro, Status, Silence, Body Language, the Comic double act and Use of Space. All these themes help to reveal how we put a piece of theatre together and how the audience enjoy it.
