GAMES, GAMES, GAMES
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF ST MARK AND ST JOHN, MARJON - PLYMOUTH - AUGUST 21/22nd
In this Theatre Games workshop we will aim to play 100 games over two days.
These games will cover a wealth of areas including play and playfulness, group awareness, discipline, rigour, focus, alertness and confidence. They are our absolute favourite games, gathered through many years of professional experience. They are the games that we use on a daily basis when we are delivering theatre company training and also when we are building performance within the many community groups that we have the pleasure to encounter during our work.
All of these games can be played on the most simple level. They can also, with certain groups, be played at a level of profound skill and complexity.
The workshop costs £100 for the two days.
