Learning
Off-stage, our education programme has become a central plank of the company’s work, with every workshop an extension of our creative process. What that means is that we celebrate the unique skills that each participant brings and give them tools to create collaboratively . We overlay this with a form of the Lecoq pedagogy, giving participants a physical vocabulary that can be used to devise their own theatre.
Julian Spooner and Matt Wells, the company’s two co-Artistic Directors, are experienced teachers and have created bespoke performance, technique and devising workshops for numerous universities and professional training institutions. Here in the UK Rhum + Clay have delivered workshops for the National Theatre and the Old Vic. Internationally we have delivered workshops in Venezuela, Brazil, Canada, Kazakhstan and Australia.
All workshops can be adapted to suit the age and ability of participants
