Event Summary
Join The Cockpit's new resident company, The Palimpsest Project, for this full-day workshop, exploring image-making as both a creative tool and a performance language.
Event Description
This workshop is ideal for performers, theatre-makers, directors, writers, and creatives who are interested in visual storytelling and collaborative creation. Whether you are experienced in devising or looking for new ways to generate material, the session offers practical tools that can be applied across a range of disciplines. Participants from backgrounds including theatre, puppetry, dance, live art, and interdisciplinary performance are all welcome. No previous experience of physical theatre is required. The workshop is particularly suited to artists who are curious about how images, movement, and spatial relationships can communicate ideas, emotions, and narratives, and who are interested in meeting and collaborating with other creatives. The day will begin with ensemble warm-ups and physical exercises before moving into a series of practical devising tasks. Participants will explore techniques from physical theatre, object theatre, and puppetry to create theatrical images using bodies, objects, space, and movement. Working individually, in pairs, and in groups, participants will develop these images into short pieces of performance material, experimenting with composition, transformation, rhythm, and visual storytelling. Along the way, there will be opportunities to share work, receive feedback, and reflect on different approaches to devising. Drawing on Lecoq-inspired practices, the workshop offers practical tools for generating performance from visual ideas and creating theatre that communicates through image, movement, and relationships in space. Date: Saturday 2 October, 2026. Time: 10:30am - 5:30pm. Location: Studio 1 at The Cockpit. Cost: Early bird price £99 (book by 21 September at 12pm). Regular price: £110.
