WORKSHOPS |
| |
As part of the nomads’ commitment to the exploration of performance
the company has run workshops on Shakespeare in the townships of
South Africa, on trance performance in England, on the acting of
gender in North America and on text and theatre skills in schools
and colleges across Europe. The nomads have also used drama to deal
with a wide range of social issues including war and bereavement in
Kosovo, youth alienation in North America and conflict
reconciliation in Southern Africa. International and cross-cultural
collaborations are at the heart of the company’s work. These are
some of the workshops we are currently offering. We are always happy
to devise workshops for any group and any situation. |

PLAY-ACTING |
| |
based on Luke’s inspired book of
theatrical beginnings-jumping-off points for actors, teachers, and
directors. Drawing upon his thirty years of designing and leading
theatre workshops, Luke Dixon goes to the heart of contemporary
theatre practice. Whether drawing upon Japanese butoh, Shakespearean
verse, or African rhythms, these thirty-two workshops cover a wide
range of activities-voice warm-ups, body work, the exploration of
theatrical space, life games, dreamtime, sense and chakras, working
with the spine, and much, much more. |

DEVISING AND STORYTELLING |
| |
An introduction to ways of creating and
telling stories using a wide variety of source materials and
releasing the actor’s imagination. The workshop explores types of
story and ways to tell them using not just the voice but also the
full physical possibilities of the actor’s body. The workshop
includes solo, duet and group work. |

|
ISSUE BASED DRAMA |
| |
A community based workshop programme in which theatre professionals
work with local people to devise short plays that dramatise issues,
raise awareness and lead to discussion and debate. We work closely
with the host community or organization in devising these workshops. |

|
TANGO THEATRE |
| |
An adventurous workshop that gives
dancers, singers and actors a chance to explore the world of the
most sensual dance in the world. The language of tango is used in
the creation of performance. This is tango not just as dance but as
song, martial art, sexual surrogate and breathtaking exoticism. |
