Workshops ahoy
We’ve been having a very constructive time with our choral workshop participants in Greenwich, creating abstract duets, rather wonderful trios and quartets and now starting to explore how we might improvise a scene as a group.

One or the Other
So, what a great few days at the Barbican Pit, experimenting with slapstick and a trio. A huge thank you to Adebayo Bolaji and Stuart King, without whom the custard pies and hitting with saucepan lids to the sound of a ‘doooiiiiinnnng’ wouldn’t have been possible. We’ll be working on this further and bringing the...
