“The Performer and the Self" workshops investigate physical storytelling, exploring the performer's Self through movement and sound, and solo devising. The first workshop is focused on identity as material for character building, whereas the second workshop investigates gender identity.

The workshops explore the simultaneous development of space and character - questioning how the performer can bring their character to the space through working with objects, architecture and transforming materials to further character building. 

The workshop encourages participants to play with different and previously hidden aspects of their identity and physical qualities.

“The Performer and the Self” has toured in at the Ilmaisuverstas/Näyttelijäliitto (Helsinki), Tjarnarbíó (Iceland), Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (Scotland), Gaiety School of Acting (Ireland) and Norsk Skuespillersenter (Norway).
