  • About the Workshops and Contributors
    Workshops You can participate in one or two workshops depending on the length on the workshop(s). There are 3 hours available for workshops in total. Apply to workhops in the registration form. Please read guide thoroughly before applying. Samuli Nordberg & Tiina Syrjä (3 hours) Xtreme - Pedagogical practises for understanding personal and performative boundaries. What is an extreme experience for the performer and on the other hand for the spectator? During this workshop, we will discuss how a performer can become aware of his/her boundaries. What can be considered extreme in the body/public space/community and which extreme actions and situations chosen by this particular group we would like to try out? We will approach the concept of extreme through various exercises, and we will explore the experiences from both the observer’s and the author's point of view. We'll seek together a physical breakpoint, learn how to scream safely and exchange with each other actions which feel personally extreme. The work is based on experiences from Xtreme workshops for actors on bachelor level. Anne Södergren (1,5 hour) Changing Perspective The workshop is based on a method developed by Anne, using three different ”rooms” where the students focus on and develop singing technique, performing and reflection respectively. In the Craft Room the student trains in different singing skills and exercises for a sustainable voice. In the Laboratory Room the students explore improvisation, text and acting skills transferred according to voice. In the Reflection Room the students have the possibility to reflect and work with an awareness of personal and artistic choices in relation to critical perspectives such as gender and other norm issues and discuss this according to the singing voice.

  • An Interview with Rashdash
    Between the Big and the Small Picture: An Interview with RashDash [00:00:19] INTRO Duška Radosavljević: Hello! Today in the Gallery, we meet Abbi Greenland and Helen Goalen, founders of the music, dance and theatre collective RashDash. As they recall in this conversation, Abbi and Helen met at university and set up RashDash in 2009. Their musical collaborator Becky Wilkie subsequently joined as a core member of the ensemble. Since their earliest outings at the National Student Drama Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe, RashDash have distinguished themselves through a highly individual performance idiom which hybridises musical, corporeal and textual dramaturgies together in a way that defies categorisation. In this interview – a rare one in the series to have been conducted in person before the Covid-19 lockdown – we retrace the company’s journey over the intervening ten years and talk about the making of some of their memorable hits such as the Two Man Show, premiered in 2017, and Three Sisters, premiered in 2018. The company’s frequently stated idealism, revaluing of the feminine, radical generosity and honest contemplation are present in this conversation too. The interview took place on 16th January 2020 at the Longfield Hall in South London. [00:01:42] THE EARLY DAYS Duška Radosavljević: Thank you very much for making this possible, this conversation. I wanted to have an opportunity to talk to you about your work and how it’s developed over the years. Because your work seems to be very representative of the kind of things I’m looking at as part this project – the way in which you’ve sort of led the way with gig theatre, or what we now call ‘gig theatre’, we probably didn’t call it that when you were developing the form.
