Shared Experience Workshop (Members) £85.00 £70.00
The Shared Experience INSET with London Drama will be led by Joint Artistic Director, Polly Teale. Polly has also written many of Shared Experience’s productions, including Speechless, Mine and the award winning After Mrs Rochester.
Shared Experience are in a league of their own Time Out
Shared Experience has been instrumental in pioneering a distinctive performance style that unites both physical and text based theatre. We will bring exercises directly from the rehearsal room to form the INSET. Techniques are practical, probing and physical, designed to stimulate the student’s imagination and increase their understanding. The day will look at the company’s unique approach to expressionism and the ensemble, intentions, physicalising emotion and to theatrically exploring the world of the ‘hidden inner’. There will also be time to apply these techniques to text, specifically to plays staged by the company. The intention of the day will be to learn through participation.
Shared Experience is now a recommended practitioner on the AQA syllabus. The INSET day will be a valuable resource for teachers wishing to know how to bring Shared Experience’s rehearsal practice into the classroom. (Ref: AQA, Drama and Theatre Studies, AS & A level, 3.2, unit 2, Presentation of an Extract from a Play.)
