Event Description

CALLING ALL THEATRE-MAKERS!!!

TEAM Workout is for theatre-makers of all kinds (actors, writers, directors, designers, technicians, puppeteers, I could keep going for a while…). It’s an invitation to come and play for a day, meet new people and work practically on ideas.

There are two ways you can take part. First off - JOIN THIS EVENT TO TELL US YOU'RE COMING!:

...then you can just turn up and donate your skills (be they acting, directing, writing, etc) for the day. No commitment, no preparation, just come and do the thing you love most for a day.

ALTERNATIVELY You can bring along an idea you want to work on. This can be absolutely anything theatre based which requires other practitioners (examples might be a piece of script, a performance piece, workshop ideas, etc). If you'd like to bring something just email lisawellsturner@gmail.com and let me know what it is. Structure of the day will depend on how many people want to do what!

After initial warm ups and introductions (feel free to bring those too!) those bringing ideas will be linked up to those donating skills. You will then have space and time to work on them in any way you like. Depending on numbers we may have several separate sessions so people move around and work on more than one project. The day will end with a Skill Swap session organised by Peter and Emma.

Workout will happen a little bit before one of Brent’s Scratch That Itch sessions so if you would like to show where you’ve got to and get feedback there will be an opportunity a few days later.

If you’re interested and would like to know more please join the TEAM Workout group for updates – here.

You are definitely not too late! It will be lovely to meet you.

I will put you on the list of people bringing work. We're aiming to keep things fairly relaxed and there'll be space to add things or remove things on the day according to what happens in the room and how people are feeling.

See you on the 19th!

Lisa

ps. Anyone else out there planning to bring stuff who hasn't told me already do drop me a line. Cheers

Comment by Karen Sherrard on January 9, 2014 at 9:40: Hi Lisa,

This sounds like a great idea. I've only just seen it but hope it's not too late to come along. I do have some scripted stuff I'm working on - it's likely to end up being a one woman show for which I'd like some input from a director. I've also been working on a 2 hander which is in need of an actor and a director. I'm also happy to offer up my acting skills to anybody who needs me.

Thanks

Karen Sherrard

Comment by Lisa Wells-Turner on January 5, 2014 at 23:36: Hey everyone (and cheers Emma!). Quick reminder that Workout's coming up soon. If anyone is planning to bring a script or something else for people to work on can you let me know by this Sunday? If you're not sure yet but thinking about things feel free to let me know that too. Just need to know roughly how to structure things. My email is lisawellsturner@gmail.com - if you've already been in touch no need to repeat. Ta and Happy New Year!
