Education

Lone Twin, with support from Brighton University and funded by Arts Council England, have created two new workshop experiences that openly invite participants into the heart of our artistic practice.

Lone Twin Theatre workshop

This workshop, given by members of the company, explores the various approaches to narrative employed in the making of Alice Bell and Daniel Hit By A Train; two of an intended trilogy of works foregrounding ideas of storytelling and biography. The company's internationally celebrated practice operates through an expansive relationship to working with narrative, one that moves away from ideas of character and plot and towards narrative elements presented in a procedural sense, as a score to speech and movement and as formal performance activity; the telling of a story by a gathered ensemble of performers to a gathered audience. Aimed at participants who have seen either or both Alice Bell and Daniel Hit By A Train, this workshop is suitable for those studying, or those with an interest in, Theatre, Contemporary Performance, Live Art and other contemporary visual practices.

Lone Twin mentoring workshop

This workshop is a more tailored option whereby Lone Twin's artistic directors Gregg Whelan and Gary Winters provide dramaturgical support to those - students or artists - already engaged in making work. The workshop intends to be of a non-threatening, accessible format whereby participants will be surprised and empowered by their own abilities to engage, not only with our work but also with performance in its broader capacity. It might attract those with an ongoing investigation into performance and public space but also those wishing to approach new areas in their artistic practice. Exact format can be tailored to context, but this workshop does necessitate participants attending with some finished material available.
