We are delighted to announce that we will be hosting a movement workshop for deaf or hard of hearing performers, facilitated by EJ Boyle.  

Designed for the Deaf theatre community, this practical workshop will explore a range of movement practices and choreography, with space to experiment with techniques and exchange ideas. Through guided exercises and the study of varied choreographic approaches and styles, participants will have time to investigate how movement, rhythm, space, time, and physical storytelling can be used as creative tools within performance.  

The workshop will be BSL interpreted by Amy Cheskin, Elliot Webster-Mockett and Rachel Wilson.

This offer is part of our ongoing programme of free opportunities for members of the Scottish acting community, as outlined in the Company’s casting policy.
