Practitioners’ workshops with Punchdrunk 5 - 6 Feb 2013
Dates & times Tue 5 Feb: 1.30-5pm & Wed 6 Feb: 10am-5pm
UK-based Punchdrunk are the world’s leading practitioners of immersive theatre. Their 2007 hit Masque of the Red Death at Battersea Arts Centre took London by storm, and the company are currently performing in New York with their sell-out show Sleep No More.
This two-day professional development workshop will be led by a performer and a designer from Punchdrunk Enrichment, the company’s ground breaking outreach and development programme. Participants will be guided through the process of developing immersive/site responsive work, with a particular focus on developing immersive theatre for and with young people. Day two of the workshop will be largely practical, and participants will have an opportunity to consider how immersive work could be implemented into their own practice.
Participants must have some level of theatrical experience but can be from a design or performance background.
