The day will start like any day in the Complicité rehearsal room playing games. Games that encourage the notion of a team and that brings out playfulness. A good game immediately puts a group into a state of readiness and makes the steps to devising much easier.
The day will enable you to find your own way of responding to a subject matter with physicality and theatricality. How experimentation and playfulness can provide momentum for creativity across your school and the curriculum.
The day will be physical so please dress in loose comfortable clothes that you can move in and trainers or bare feet.
