Bedlam offers the
wide range of workshops listed above - and much more! All workshops are
very flexible in both structure and content. We are always happy to
discuss your requirements and we can tailor a workshop specifically to
suit your needs.
Workshops can be geared towards
team building, acting skills, work on a particular performance project,
confidence building, text interpretation, directing etc. Participants
work individually, in pairs, and in large and small groups. The company
prefers to work with groups no larger than 30, although larger groups
can sometimes be accommodated with extra assistance. Workshops are usually
led by the company co-directors, Emma Spurgin Hussey and Rory Wilton
(CRB certificates can be provided). Response to Bedlam’s
workshops is very positive - hard work and the sharing of skills are
combined with fun, a nurturing environment, and empowerment of the
individual and group.
