CPR Workshop: COOKING CHAOS : Phelim McDermott, Improbable (UK) Sat 9th and Sun 10th Feb 10am to 6pm |
Cooking Chaos is a two-day forum for theatre practitioners interested in new ways of exploring creativity. The Cooking Chaos forum will use process work techniques, combined with some of Improbable's ways of making theatre, to raise awareness of issues within the theatre community such as insider/outsider, time, responsibilities, creativity, isolation. Playing with group myths, dreams and crazy wisdom as starting points for creativity, the workshop may be useful for exploring issues and themes for a theatrical piece, as well as using these methods in a more open-ended way to learn how to check in with the emotional and creative weather of any group. In a playful environment the workshop will "cook chaos" to discover new ways of creating work and community together. Co-Artistic Director of Improbable, Phelim McDermott has created many award-winning productions including A Midsummer Night's Dream for the English Shakespeare Company and Shockheaded Peter with Julian Crouch, as well as his many Improbable productions, and is currently directing Philip Glass' Satyagraha in collaboration with the English National Opera. As part of his NESTA fellowship research into new ways of rehearsing and creating theatre using Improvisation and Process Oriented Conflict Facilitation Techniques, he recently facilitated the second Open Space Technology event called 'Devoted and Disgruntled: What are we going to do about theatre?' for the theatre community. "It is this willingness to leap into the unknown and create by the seat of their pants that has always characterised the work of Improbable... Improbable shows are not just different from each other, they are different every single night... ...Improbable though it may seem, anything can happen and it probably will."
