VISUAL POETRY
With Sophie Besse
A workshop for any Theatre Makers keen to create shows involving people who might find verbal communication difficult or who want to enrich the aesthetic and poetic side of their work.
You will gain tools to break the language barrier & create spaces accessible to a larger audience. You will also go away with games and exercises to help escape reality, find new ways to unlock emotions, create beauty and improve wellbeing.
