with Sarah Kane

WORKSHOP 1

Friday 17 October 19.00 – 21.30 & Saturday 18 October 10.00 – 17.30

Exploring the Play: Developing the Feeling of the Whole

October – December

How does the acting technique developed by Russian actor Michael Chekhov work in practice? If you have had a go at working with atmospheres or gestures or a character’s imaginary body in a workshop and want to see how creatively inspiring and liberating working with the technique can be when looking at a whole play, come and find out!

We will focus on using the technique to open up one particular play, Russian author Yevgeni Schwarts’s satire (disguised as a fairy tale) The Dragon, written in 1944 and banned from the stage after the opening night.

Starting on Friday evening and running through Saturday all day, the three workshops are designed to build from one to the other but can also be taken individually.
