Miranda Tufnell is a dancer, Alexander teacher and Craniosacral Therapist. The workshop will concentrate on sensory and imaginative exploration of the body, of place and of material things, as ingredients both in our everyday lives and as elements to stimulate performance – exploring how our bodies respond and interact with the material world around us and following the stories and imagery that these encounters reveal. £60 (£40 Bursary Price) 18-20 July RIC JERROM and JACQUI POPAY Interactive Theatre Workshop Ric Jerrom and Jacqui Popay are two of the leading performers and directors with the UK’s greatest interactive comedy theatre ensemble, Natural Theatre Company (NTC).
