Vamos Theatre, the award-winning full mask theatre company based in Worcester, is inviting non-theatre professionals to join in a unique workshop – one that’s for everyone who’s interested in theatre. Renowned for its ground-breaking, non-verbal performance style, Vamos Theatre specialises in distinctive, full-face masks.
The company runs regular professional masterclasses and performance sessions, but this is the first time it has developed a workshop especially for the general public. Playing Up! is a one-day workshop created for non-professionals and so no performance experience is needed. You’ll learn about Vamos Theatre’s masks and get to try them out, discover how to communicate non-verbally using movement and body-language, and play games that open up creativity.
It’s a rare chance to see inside the world of a professional theatre company and have a great day of fun and play in the process. Honor Hoskins, Vamos Theatre’s Creative Producer comments, “This is an exciting one-day workshop where you’ll learn the basic techniques and skills of mask work, and how we being to devise our shows using non-verbal theatre. It will be a fantastic day of play and laughter, full of learning through discovery. I can’t stress enough absolutely no performance experience is necessary, this is a day of creativity open to all.”
Playing Up! will be held at The Angel Centre 14 Angel Place Worcester WR1 3QN on Saturday, 4 March 2023, 11:00 – 16:00 GMT.
