Devising with Collaborative Energy ONLINE (February)

Suitable for:

Creatives new to theatre devising OR in-career theatre makers, actors, writers, teachers...

Welcome to join with or without a theatre background.

Maybe you are a theatre person or maybe you are from another creative background looking to elevate your ideation, creative writing, or improvisation. Or if just want to join a creative group, move your body and have some playful fun from the comfort of your home...

This workshop will draw out the very best opportunities that a 'zoom workshop' can offer us. We will explore our unique space including the everyday objects around us with fresh eyes & a playful approach. Finding stimuli in our everyday space, we will open up surprising new paths to creativity. The workshop will focus on tools for devising including movement, creative writing, collaboration & improvisation.

In the 1.5 hour, we will fuse the unique talents and collective creativity of the group, with members meeting at the virtual space from across the UK & internationally.

• Explore key steps of devising to create something from scratch
• Gain inspiration through movement exploration, improv and creative writing in an encouraging group
• Connect with fellow artists through group warm-up and games, getting inspired in an encouraging environment balanced with collaborative energy with chances to work on your own materials
• Have fun and be stimulated by Scratchworks’ signature playful theatre-making vibe!
• Benefit from Alice’s experienced facilitation and attentive feedback to develop your creative practice

This workshop will be led by Alice Higginson-Clarke: a theatre-maker, performer & writer who has been a Co-Artistic Director of Scratchworks Theatre Company since it began in 2013. With 10 years' award-winning track record of highly visual and playful theatre, Scratchworks is a physical ensemble of three women blending movement, comedy, live music and imagination to bring a story to life.

Alice is highly praised by the previous partcipants for her excellence in facilitating a relaxing, resourceful and fun group environment where everyone feels supported to explore, create and learn. 

We have previously welcomed creatives of all walks and they have found the tools and practice really useful for their creative environment as well as a great opportunity to make connections in a collaborative group environment. 

I think the workshop encourages one to tap into the unknown imagination and think of our bodies. Great source of inspiration to create things towards certain new feelings, thoughts, and connections. – Sabrina, filmmaker

For this session you will need a piece of paper & pen. A private space is also recommended.
