Introduction to Making: Young Theatre Makers offers time and space to find out more about directing and theatre making and learn how to create theatre shows. Participants will have the opportunity to:
- Learn some new skills around telling stories and how to use different elements when making live performance
- Get to know other aspiring directors and theatre makers and maybe make some connections for the future
- Explore techniques for developing ideas and performances
- Have a chance to think about what stories you want to tell and why you want to tell them
- Find out a bit more about what your next steps might be if you find you want to take this further
- Learn how directors collaborate with other creatives such as set designers, writers etc.
- See a show at the Young Vic
The first part of the program will consist of a one week intensive.
The second part of the program consists of monthly workshops for three months. These workshops will focus on areas you would like to expand on from the intensive week and explore pathways into directing and theatre making.
The program will be led by our Genesis Fellow / Associate Director, Taio Lawson, who will also bring in some guest creatives.
Lunch and travel expenses (within London) will be provided each day.
