Wet Picnic Workshops are back

Book your places now!

After successful tours in the UK, Europe and Russia Wet Picnic are back with more training weekends at Jacksons Lane in London. The workshops are for professionals, semi-professionals, directors, practitioners and students who wish to complement their studies or are looking for fresh ways in which to approach theatre and find new creative impulses.

Weekend One: Character and the Actor
Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th November
11am – 6pm
Jacksons Lane, London
Participants will explore animals, mime, mask, elements and neutrality, transferring this to the creation of character and the development of role. Drawing from the successful devising techniques of Wet Picnic, and the practices of Jacques Lecoq, this weekend is designed to develop your skills as a performer, and arm you with techniques and tools to tackle a variety of roles; placing your movement at the heart of the development of characterisation and theatre. This work is suitable for both devising work and working from scripts.
Weekend Two : Clown, Bouffon and Play.
Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th November
11am – 6pm
Jacksons Lane, London
The group will look at the development of individual clown, the world of bouffon, and how these styles are appropriate to theatre today. Modern clown can be used as a critical tool to develop both comic and tragic material, allowing performers to access the ability to develop skills in connecting with audiences and developing depth and poetry in any work that they deliver. The weekend will investigate the uses of clowning beyond being a clown and how the world of the bouffon allows us to develop engaging work which is relevant to todays audiences.
Cost: £180 for both weekends (£150 for students) £95 for one weekend (£80 for students)
