The Madness of Love Workshop

From 4pm - 6pm. This workshop is Free.

When we play, we are full of energy, alert and spontaneous. We look for playfulness in others and tend not to judge ourselves. If we are enjoying a game, we are fully involved in it.

We will use games to discover our physical expressiveness and playfulness, and to establish a direct, playful relationship with each other and with the audience.

Wear loose clothing.

And, above all else…have FUN! Lots of it! AND BE IN THE SHOW…

From 7.30pm

A feast of physical comedy. Hilarious yet rich in emotion!
