Name: Performing Materialities: A performance making workshop
Start: 2024-05-16 10:00:00
End: 2024-05-16 16:00:00
Location: Theatre Deli

A performance making workshop based on the idea that performance can be generated through the shared agency between materials and the body.

This workshop is based on the core idea that we employ within our own professional practice, that performance can be generated through the responsive shared agency between the material and the body.

In practice, we will introduce a series of performance making processes related to body movement and material exploration. We will begin by getting into our bodies through mindful movement and a multisensory awareness journey. Then, we will introduce the materials and get to understand them through playful experimentation. Finally, we will move onto movement improvisation tasks with the chosen material and explore the idea of performance making through this process.

Throughout the workshop, participants will learn how to explore their own ideas, concepts or stories through the imaginative interaction between bodies and materials. They will get the opportunity to explore how the properties of the materials can inform and inspire different movement qualities and narratives and how these processes lead to performance making.

It does not require previous experience or training from the participants.

Join us for an exciting opportunity to:

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
