The Return(Workshop) Natasha Stanic Mann

Lyttelton Rooms: 6 Church Street, Great Malvern

Date & Time: Saturday 16th November: 1pm-5pm (Includes ½ hour break)
Tickets: £5

Within the framework of ‘The Return’, a one-woman show about the intergenerational effects of war we developed a workshop based on the themes we are exploring in the piece - living through a war, leaving one’s country, and building a new life and a sense of belonging. Through drama games, improvisation and devising techniques, workshop participants get a taste of what goes into dramatising life experience. Participants work in groups and use stimuluses such as objects, images, or poems to devise stories and make performances.

This workshop provides a safe environment for the participants to take risks and try something new. It encourages participants to explore their creative potential and share stories. A collaborative nature of the workshop nurtures interpersonal skills, promotes teamwork, communication, and develops a sense of community.

You will be guided in how to invent the song of now in small groups and experience the deep connection that comes with vocalising when fully present in the moment as a group. You will come away from this workshop with new skills and forms in vocalising that you'll want to keep trying again and again as it's different every time!
