Saturday 11 January 10am - Saturday 12 April 5.30pm
A sequence of Saturday monthly workshops
with Sarah Kane
These one-day workshops provide an opportunity to explore practically the core elements of the truly artistic acting techniques developed by Russian actor Michael Chekhov in the middle of the twentieth century. Chekhov’s approach aims to inspire and empower actors for their future work by building a living and sensitive bridge between the movement and imagination of an actor and the character to be played.
Although the workshops are designed as a series and build from one to the next, each workshop is an entirety in itself and can be taken individually.
Imagination is the real, eternal world, of which this vegetable universe is but a faint shadow.
William Blake
Saturday 11 January 10am - 5.30pm ~ The Actor’s Imagination
To start the new year, this workshop will explore what imagination is and how an artist can engage with, develop and strengthen it in his or her creative work.Saturday 22 February 10am - 5.30pm ~ Exploring the Psycho-Physical Basics
What is a gesture? And how can gestures make us more creative? Starting with movement this workshop will explore what are called archetypal gestures as tools to express a character’s inner impulses and bring the character to life.
Saturday 8 March 10am - 5.30pm ~ Gesture and a Character’s Objective: The Psychological Gesture
From archetypal gestures we will move on to individual gestures and develop them in relation to text to express the embodied essence of a character, what Chekhov calls the psychological gesture.
Saturday 12 April 10am - 5.30pm ~ Individualising Psychological Gestures: Qualities
The third session on gesture will investigate the final step in the process of individualisation and explore how qualities can enhance and refine any gesture, making them truly specific.Please bring clothes and shoes suitable for the Chekhov workshops as a well as a piece of text such as a monologue or poem known by heart, so that it can be used in the exploration in practice of any aspect of the techniques.
Workshop Fees:
1 workshop day: £55
4 workshops: £195 (Bookable on the first date)

Sunday 12 January 10am - Sunday 13 April 5.30pm
A sequence of Sunday monthly workshops
with Sarah Kane
These one-day workshops provide an opportunity to explore practically the core elements of the artistic speech techniques developed by Rudolf Steiner at the beginning of the twentieth century. The approach aims to bring what an actor speaks to life by exploring where we might find the life of words themselves. The approach can inspire and empower actors for their work by building a living and sensitive bridge between an actor’s inner life and the words a character speaks.
Although the workshops are designed as a series and one builds on to the previous one, each workshop is an entirety in itself and can be taken individually.
Sunday 12 January 10.00 - 5.30pm ~ The Role Of The Imagination In An Actor’s Speech
Speech that is alive and embodied is hard to contemplate without engaging the actor’s imagination. We will explore the tools Steiner proposes to use to connect inner pictures with speaking.
Sunday 23 February 10am - 5.30pm ~ Steiner’s Speech Gestures
The art of speaking was close to Steiner’s heart and the speech gestures open a new world, a new way of approaching speech for the actor, connected most emphatically with movement. All the following elements explored in the coming workshops build on these foundations.
Sunday 9 March 10 am – 5.30pm ~ Sounds, Syllables, Words As Gesture
Steiner’s approach offers tools to give life and substance to words that go beyond their meaning: how can gestures contribute to that life, so that they acquire colour, dynamic and rhythm?
Sunday 27 April 10am – 5.30pm ~ Exploring The Individuality of A Character’s Voice
Working with both sound and gesture the workshop will investigate how to create the vocal individuality of the character.
Please bring clothes and shoes suitable for the Chekhov workshops as a well as a piece of text such as a monologue or poem known by heart, so that it can be used in the exploration in practice of any aspect of the techniques.

Geomancy as a creative dialogue with Gaia has made profound developments after entering the third millennium when the intense process of Earth changes started. More than ever, we need a new approach to geomancy with practical experiences and theoretical insights related to the upcoming multidimensional Earth cosmos and the different kinds of beings sustaining its permanent transformations. In this course we will practice methods of Earth healing and subtle perception exercises with special emphasis on the creative language of the body and its artistic expression. Beginners and experienced geomancy practitioners are both welcome.

Marko Pogačnik (1944) UNESCO Artist for Peace from Slovenia has developed a method of Earth healing based upon geomantic knowledge, using cosmograms carved in stone. He has led education in geomancy in Germany, England, Hungary, Italy, USA, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia and Slovenia. His latest books: Dancing with the Earth Changes and Creating Gaia Culture. www.markopogacnik.com

Wednesday 26 March4.15pm - 5.45pm
with Dagmar Steffelbauer
Occult Science was first written by Steiner in 1909 and after that, three revised editions (1913, 1920 & 1925) followed. Studying the book, a first glance into supersensible worlds is given. ‘One of the fairest fruits of the pursuit of Spiritual Science is that it lends strength and firmness to life. Inexhaustible is the fountainhead from which it draws, giving human being strength for work and confidence in life’ - Rudolf Steiner.
All are welcome!

Saturday 28 June 10am - Sunday 29 June 1pm
With Ad Dekkers, Henriette Dekkers, John Lees
Seeking truth in a polarized world and building future communities
There will be an opportunity to deepen the theme in an optional workshop on Sunday 29th June, 10.30 – 13.00.
We often hear such words as misinformation, fake news and propaganda. There is an uncertainty about truth. Our present world is beset by intensified polarizations regarding a whole range of issues – Gaza, Covid vaccination, politics (such as Democrats and Republicans in the United States), global alliances (BRICS and the G7).How should we position ourselves in this polarized, split, dangerous, confusing and uncertain world? What is our place in these broader events? Do we mean anything or are we just cogs in a machine? What can we do?
Ad Dekkers, Henriette Dekkers and John Lees are anthroposophic psychotherapists, practicing a holistic body, soul and spirit approach to psychotherapy. They will share a way of addressing these questions from the point of view of anthroposophic psychotherapy. Their aim is to show that today’s challenges present us with an opportunity to develop a future spiritual consciousness and new future communities. The conference will include talks, group discussions and practical exercises.
Cost:
Saturday: £50, £35 conc.

Monday 11 August 9am - Friday 15 August 5pm
Shakespeare Week at Rudolf Steiner House London
A pair of twins emerge from the ocean. Parted by a storm and shipwreck, each is sure the other is drowned as they come separately ashore on the coast of Illyria. Beneath their outwardly confusing similarity, their different destinies lead them into the same social psychic disorder which at first they unwittingly compound. The tenuous symmetry of the plot embraces illusion and misrule, and justly leaves some unfinished business at the end that reflects the disparate beginning.
Twelfth Night leads us from the innocence of the Early Comedies into the well-known experiences of the Tragedies. The less well-understood ambiguous, confused, social, personal, and gender realities of that transition expose an entertaining but tragic chaos. This play picks up a teasing loose end from As You Like It, and leaves a bitter remainder for Hamlet. The counter-intuitive polarities remind us of the excesses of the Saturnalia and reveal what is often hidden by the norms of convention. The questions the play poses about identity, delusion, recognition, and destiny all relate timelessly to our individual and social experience today.
Sarah Kane and Andrew Wolpert will be offering speech, drama workshops, close study of the text, lectures, discussions, and a visit to see a production of the play at The Globe Theatre.
The course fee of £465 includes a Groundling theatre ticket, morning coffee and afternoon tea.
