Thinking Theatrically
Open Workshop on Saturday 25 November 2023
Held by Writer/Director of work.txt, Nathan Ellis (UK)
Thinking Theatrically is a workshop inviting you to think about big ideas in a theatrical way. We will discuss what we mean by “form” in the arts and explore some examples together, then consider what we might mean by “form” in theatre. Nathan will talk about making his own work and how form and content are related for him. And then we will attempt in pairs to come up with our own formally experimental theatrical approaches to issues we care about.
SPECIAL! If you book the workshop you can buy your ticket to the evening performance on Saturday 25 November at the student price! (If you are a student, please contact us by email for your discount).
