WHAT'S ON THIS AUTUMN?
EXPLORING VERBATIM THEATRE - Wednesdays @ 7:30pm - 9:00pm, 25th September - 23rd October
Verbatim theatre uses the spoken words of real people to document life,
capturing and platforming testimony in a valid, representative way. Work made using this process is fresh, of-the-moment and a tool to really say something about modern life.
This course will introduce participants to the form, from storytelling
skills and interview technique, to turning collected content into
characters, monologues and scenes. Devising from a verbatim starting
point will also be explored, and some time will be spent drawing from our
personal thoughts and memories to generate content, guided by the
group’s interests. The art of embodying real people onstage will also be
covered.
Verbatim is such an exciting form and this course will guide participants
through the tips and tricks to creating a vibrant piece of powerful
performance.

Asana:Blend - A Fusion of Yoga Asana and Pilates for Creatives - Mondays @ 6:00pm - 7:30pm, 4th November - 2nd December
Asana:Blend is a unique class that beautifully blends the principles of yoga asana and Pilates, specifically designed for creatives and artists, yet suitable for all levels. This class invites you to find the connections between movement and functional physicality that enhance both physical and mental well-being.
Throughout our session, you will engage in a series of fluid movements that encourage body awareness and postural support. The combination of yogic flow and Pilates' core-strengthening techniques fosters a deep sense of mindfulness, allowing participants to connect their breath with movement and cultivate a heightened state of presence in their bodies.
Whether you are a dancer, actor, musician, or simply someone seeking a holistic approach to fitness, Asana:Blend offers a nurturing environment that promotes flexibility, strength, and stability. We will work on the studio floor but you are invited to bring your own mat along if you would prefer. Each class will feature elements that guide you in understanding and supporting your body’s unique structure, helping to prevent injuries while enhancing your creative expression. Expect to leave the class feeling activated, centred, and inspired, ready to channel your newfound energy into your artistic endeavours.
