Physical and Devised Theatre Workshop with Hwyl Theatre

  • DramaSoc c/o UCSA 90 Ilam Rd Christchurch, Canterbury, 8041 New Zealand (map)

DramaSoc is pleased to announce our first workshop of semester 2 - Physical and Devised Theatre, led by Harry Lawrence of Hwyl Theatre! This workshop is free, but we ask that you sign up by filling out the Google form attached at the end. The workshop will be two hours, but is listed for three to allow time for a break in between sections. Please note that although this event is open to the public, Hwyl Theatre and DramaSoc reserve the right to ask anyone who is behaving inappropriately to leave.

It will take place in Drama Workshop 1, just inside the Jack Mann Auditorium building on UC's Dovedale campus. Please bring a water bottle and clothing you are comfortable moving in.

The first hour will cover physical theatre, This is a form of theatre that focuses on telling stories through movement rather than dialogue. Although the name may sound scary, we promise it will be a positive and safe environment to learn this skill in.

The second hour will cover devising theatre. It will not explore how to create dialogue or a script, but rather the techniques that can be used to create a devised show.

If you have any questions or concerns you can reach out to Harry at: hwyltheatreco@outlook.com
