How can we create theatre together in ways that celebrate linguistic and cultural diversity and recognise it as a creative resource?
Join Varshini Pichemuthu, Applied Theatre Practitioner and Creative Facilitator, for a practical artist development workshop exploring playful, participant-centered approaches to devising and creating work in multilingual spaces.
Drawing on Varshini’s experience facilitating with participants from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, the workshop will explore how movement, gesture, sound, play, storytelling and spoken language can offer different ways into communication and creativity. We’ll consider how we can honour the knowledge, experiences and creativity that participants already bring into the room, create opportunities for different forms of expression, and approach story-making with choice and agency at its heart.
Through practical exercises, games and collaborative devising, we’ll explore and share adaptable approaches for creating and facilitating in multilingual spaces. There will also be space to exchange ideas, reflect on our own practice and learn from the collective wisdom in the room.

Join us, in collaboration with the ADC Theatre, for this free artist development workshop with Rachel Denning, Actor & Facilitator, and Associate Artist at National Youth Theatre, exploring how imposter syndrome can impact creative practice.
Rachel has worked in Television, Film, Theatre, Radio and Education for 20 years. As a disabled actor she has experienced Imposture Syndrome throughout her training and professional work and would love to share these experiences and thoughts with others.
Whether it’s feeling that we're not experienced enough, or that we don’t have the "look", skills or background, or "type", imposter syndrome can have a huge impact on how we approach creative work and the opportunities we take. Through practical exercises, discussion, drama and playful exploration, the workshop will offer a supportive space to explore the challenges of finding your voice, stepping into professional creative spaces, taking risks and believing that you have something valuable to offer.
