Is the creative freelancer life getting a bit stagnant? Have you been feeling a little uninspired? Or maybe you just want to try something different and work with new people.
“Creative Top Up” is a workshop designed for creatives of all disciplines who are struggling with burn out, writers block, or just feel in need of a bit of a shake-up to help generate new ideas. Through using physical theatre exercises, creative writing prompts and improvisation, this workshop aims to take you out of your comfort zone and help you think through a different lens, and maybe spark some new ideas that you can bring into your own practice.
This sounds like fun! How do I attend?
You're in the right place to get a ticket! Ticket prices are on a sliding scale, with a minimum payment of £5.
I’m not a performer, or I don’t have movement experience, does this matter?
Nope! All the exercises are about meeting you where you’re at, and moving within your own bodies capabilities. But, be aware you will be asked do some ‘performing’ in the workshop through the form of different exercises and games, and there will be a heavy focus on movement/physical theatre.
Do I need to bring anything?
A pen and paper, some water, and wear clothes that you can comfortably move in.
Access Information:
We will be using Actors East’s Dalston venue (not their space in Haggerston). It is a 3 minute walk from Dalston Kingsland Station, to the left as you enter Gillett Square from the High Street. Unfortunately, it’s not a step-free space. To enter the venue, you go down five steps. Once inside the space is on one level, with a toilet that is not wheelchair accessible.
We will take a short break half way through the session, and there is a second room that can be used as a chill-out space, should you need to step out of the workshop.
No one will be turned away from this workshop due to lack of funds. if you want to attend but the price is a barrier, drop me a message and we can sort something out.
If you have other access needs that need to be accommodated contact me on Instagram or via email.
