This work, gathered from very many people and places during 25 years of working in theatre and dance, mainly consists of training exercises that have been developed to encourage a sense of ease and playfulness in performance, combined with generosity, awareness, stamina, discipline and rigour.

These are all highly transferable skills that make sense in any group situation not just a Theatre one.

They encourage quick, bold and playful responses to stimulus and they also encourage an attitude where one is as responsible for the whole in a group situation as one is to the self.

All of the games can be played on many levels. The same is true of the voice, body and mask work. We have done variations on all of this work with many different groups of people from 'hard core' Theatre professionals through to very young children

This is the body of work as it exists now. We stress that these are only starting points. Take them, play them, thrash them out and change them. They are not set in stone. These games and techniques will and should evolve according to the groups of people that play with them.

We will be adding content to the site on a very regular basis so do keep checking in to make sure that you have the latest stuff!

And ..... perhaps most important of all ......when you have found a new way of working with it all, please, please, please post to the forum - 

We would love to know!
