This workshop will give your students an insight into the Tmesis creative process and will provide exercises to devise physically, create characters and work as an ensemble. We can provide resource packs and are renowned for high quality, encouraging and inspiring delivery to support pupils work at GCSE, A-Level and BTEC.

“Tmesis’ workshops are always popular, consistently sell-out and we have benefitted from being able to engage new audiences to the venue…enabling us to widen our access routes for a greater number of people.”

 

Louise Flooks, Participation Coordinator, Unity Theatre.

 

‘They built up an excellent rapport with participants and prepared them to develop ambitious and creative practical work.  They led by example and offered insight and analysis as well as practical expertise. Participants learnt how to use their physical expression to develop new material, invaluable when devising and beneficial for enhancing performance skills and boosting confidence.’
