FORGE Workshop
FORGE is an inclusive, participatory workshop that offers insight into the devising methods of the Rawcus company. In particular, FORGE will focus on how to work both as an individual and as part of an ensemble.
Rawcus works at the intersections of theatre and dance. Participants will be led through a series of physical exercises, text generation tasks and creative prompts that allow for on the floor exploration and discoveries. FORGE invites participants to work alongside members of the Rawcus Ensemble and explore themes, provocations and questions from the company’s current show in rehearsals. Rawcus Associate Artist Jethro Woodward will work responsively with participants, live-mixing an aural score.
FORGE is an experiential insight into fresh methods of ensemble performance making.
