Visual Theatre

Theatre making and storytelling.

Visual theatre is fast becoming an accessible, inventive and creatively inspired form of theatre making. In this hands-on and practical workshop students will learn the fundamental skills we use to build and stage a new theatre work, as well as the instant process we go through in getting ideas and new ways of storytelling up on their feet. Whether you’re transforming an existing text, devising a new concept, or wanting to explore the conventions of visual theatre, this workshop offers a solid grounding in building breathtaking images, exquisite transitions, small and large scale puppetry moments, all while building a cohesive ensemble performance.

Visual theatre techniques: Transformation Techniques, Storytelling, Small and Large Scale Perspective, Puppetry, Design Elements, Handheld Lighting and Performance Technologies, Object Theatre, Ensemble Performance, World Building.
