You might have heard of Theatre of the Absurd or Epic Theatre or Theatre of Cruelty, but in truly practical terms what do these theoretical perspectives deliver on the stage? How would knowledge of the different theatrical styles one may find throughout the 20^th century reflect in your own stylistic choices? In this workshop we would delve into a number of different theatre theories to help us understand better the development of playwriting from the end of the 19^th to the end of the 20^th century with the aim to use these concepts in our own plays with a more deliberate attitude.

There are no official requirements for joining as long as you are ready to keep an open mind and write! All workshops are delivered online, so you may join from anywhere on the planet as long as you speak and write in English, plus I follow an Ethical Pricing Policy so that there is ZERO financial gatekeeping. Here’s what I mean, there are three ‘prices’ for all of the workshops:

FULL PRICE – 200e

Why should you pay full price? Because you are lucky enough to afford it without it being too much of a strain on your finances. All those honest enough and lucky enough to be able to pay full price will be filling in the gap for those that cannot afford to. Each course is 10hrs long, so the full price is at 20e per hour, which is already a very reasonable price.

HALF PRICE – 100e

You do have some income but paying the full price would be a big burden on you at the moment, or maybe you intend to take more than one workshop over a short period of time. This price is meant to make it easier for you to join and have a continuous participation to help you develop your projects even further whilst not costing you too much.

FREE – 000e

Yes, you may attend for free. You are currently unemployed, you are a student trying to make ends meet with no financial support, you are an artist or an actor or a writer barely making it till the end of the month, I get it. This is why every course I invite a couple of people that join for free. Sometimes they are able to contribute something in kind if their services are useful for the courses but that is not even necessary.

All workshops are 10hours long, happen online, in the evening (19:00-21:30 Paris Time) via zoom, from Monday to Thursday, with 4 sessions of 2.5hrs each. A maximum of 12 participants is allowed per workshop.
