Workshop Mission Statement

Human Beings are creative animals, as a species they have a desire to explore understand and create. They are capable of amazing feats of wonder and terrible destruction. Now perhaps in this age of amazing technical possibilities where we search even beyond our solar system we are perhaps as far from understanding ourselves and our needs as we have ever been.

The Pandemic has affected society in many ways, not least in forcing us even more than before to communicate on screens. I have perceived that we as social beings might need to examine this relationship and how it is affecting our social interaction.

Much of my work to date has dealt with creating non-verbal group communication a Sort of intuition or group energy. It seems to me there is now more than ever a need for exploring how we interact with each other within the same physical space.

It might be that what humans need to feel happy is quite simple and near at hand. The workshop aims to explore the idea of happiness and if it is possible to truly communicate those feelings.

Workshop options/needs

Tailored workshops There is the potential to tailor the workshops for specific existing groups. For example actors wishing to enhance their existing skill set, or community groups wishing to explore a theme relevant to them.

Length The length of time the workshop takes is flexible. From one day to a full week or regular sessions of two hours over a set time. The more time the deeper the exploration. A two full day workshop is effective and realistic.

Needs The workshop needs only an empty room where the group are able to work undisturbed. The group size is limited by the size of the room. As an example, a classroom might accommodate a group of between ten and twelve a hall or gym up to twenty to twenty four. As a rule of thumb all the participants would need to be able to lie on the floor with arms outstretched without touching.
