About the masterclass:

Will Tredinnick is a self-proclaimed ‘Professional Idiot’. This workshop is for anyone interested in pursuing anything professionally, be that dance, theatre, comedy, music, masonry, small business, or baking!

This masterclass will focus on developing skills in devising for performance and will start with some light physical activity to get the blood pumping around our performance vessel: the body. From there we will discover how to play, explore some tools to help us make something out of nothing, learn some simple storytelling tricks and then bring it on home with a short display of our new mastery of devising.

The workshop will be physical (but not too physical) so wear something comfortable (there will be a prize for the most comfortable outfit).

Experience level:

Suitable for individuals, duos, trios and larger ensembles - all experience levels are welcome!

Age recommended 15+
