CONNECTING TO PLAY - WEEK 1
We'll explore your inner-child's impulse to play. We'll get know your unique ways of playing and do lots of group, pair and individual exercises to increase your sense of 'yes' to your own imagination.
CLOWN - WEEKS 2 & 3
We'll scratch the surface of this wonderful theatrical tradition that connects your inner-child to the space around you, we'll work with objects, the red nose & costume pieces.
FOOL - WEEK 4
Taking a look at the basic principles of fooling we'll figure out how our voices, sounds, words and varying emotions can come into our play.
IMPROVISATIONAL STORYTELLING - WEEK 5
Dipping into some improvised storytelling & working with a short fairytale we'll get to know how the state of playfulness is fundamental to performance-storytelling
FACILITATION with Deborah Antoinette:
Deborah is a storyteller, sketch writer-performer & facilitator.
For her, stories hold the potential for deep healing, and laughter offers the possibility of irreverently unveiling the absurd ways the world can be. She digs into myths, flies with the magic of fairytale and revels in writing theatre sketches that shake-shit-up.
Her explorations of story and Self extend to the realm of Systematic Constellations - a collective healing practice which focuses on our personal stories and seeks movement where relationships and narratives are stuck.
She is the co-creater of comedy show 'Queen C**t Sacred or Profane?', movement show 'Raven' and storytells 'Inanna', 'Sacred Bees', 'Owl Woman' and many more.
TESTIMONIALS
"The course gives you a feeling of self-worth. It is a safe space which banishes all writer's blocks… This course is probably the best creative thing that I have done during the lockdown. ”
Andrew, actor & playwright, 'IMAGINARIUM' workshop
“A must for anyone wanting to take their connection with and ideas for theatre work a little closer to a devilish cutting edge. Held so competently by both Deborah and Robyn whose professional experiences clearly came to the fore.”
Suzan, Creative Therapist, ‘The Laboratory of The Un-Beautiful’ workshop (Collaboration with Robyn Hambrook)
"I was so buzzed after last night's workshop and feel great today for the challenge of exploring play… I felt like my eyes were sparkling. It's like magic!"
Ava, socially engaged artist, 'IMAGINARIUM’ workshop
“It was incredible to have Deborah as a creative coach - not only to keep me on track with my goals - but to deepen my knowledge of how to birth the abstract into form. Immediately I felt that she reflected back my intentions for the work beautifully, and she helped craft the skeleton of the piece with me in order to manifest those intentions (to sing the flesh on the bones!). Her notes were thorough and detailed. She offered creative solutions and ideas, tools, and was encouraging and affirming of the work. The most wonderful part: I was ready, I was not stressed, and I enjoyed it. (And so did the audience!)”
