Ensemble Laboratory Opens
The Ensemble Laboratory
Rough Fiction in Association with The Actors Centre
Beginning in July 2010 our Ensemble Lab provides time and space each weekend for 10 core members and 6 visiting actors each week to train, experiment and develop skills together as an ensemble. The ensemble will ultimately produce low tech, low budget gig-style theatre in various spaces; from contemporary performance to classic plays. Unlike our main productions, this is an unpaid ensemble for those who wish to benefit from ongoing collaboration. Workshop sessions therefore provide training and skills development free to all participants.
The aim is to nurture a mutual understanding and shared history of work together, developing a common language emphasising a balance between text, movement and musicality in performance. We will regularly receive guest practitioners and directors to run sessions or workshops on various plays. We believe that cultivating mutual training and an ongoing dialogue between performers is essential to creating truly great ensemble theatre.
