Laban, show Three Shades in 2019 and has since regarded as the architect of European Contemporary Dance, codified a system written a tv pilot Margaret, both evolved from of analyzing and classifying movement in all its aspects, not only physical, but support and close work with Effort also in its expressive manifestations and psychological impulses. Yat extended Productions.' these ideas to create a psychological typology of character. This fusion of internal motivation and expressive technique offers the actor a basis for constructing character. Yat Malmgren founded Drama Centre with Christopher Fettes and John Blatchley in 1963. It is credited with being the first 'Method' school in Britain, but its true original gift to international theatre was Yat's development of Laban's Movement Psychology into his own study of Character Analysis. James Kemp sat alongside him during his final years at the school. Malmgren chose Kemp to inherit his work and teachings and was keen that it found a permanent home and was able to grow. We are proud to call Effort Productions the home of Yat’s work. .

  • FINISHING the PICTURE by Arthur Miller
    Press Information ! ! ! VIBRANT NEW WRITING | UNIQUE REDISCOVERIES June–August Season 2018 The UK premiere of Arthur Miller’s final play FINISHING THE PICTURE by Arthur Miller. Directed by Phil Willmott. Set Design by Isabella Van Braeckel. Costume Design by Penn O’Gara. Lighting Design by Rachel Sampley. Sound Design by Nicola Chang. Presented by Nastazja Somers for The Phil Willmott Company in association with the Finborough Theatre. Cast: Patrick Bailey. Stephen Billington. Jeremy Drakes. Nicky Goldie. Rachel Handshaw. Oliver Le Sueur. Tony Wredden. "She is frightened and resentful and angry – and we’ve got about half an hour to cure all three.” Following his critically acclaimed, up-close reinvention of Arthur Miller’s Incident at Vichy and sell-out revival of The American Clock, multi-award-winning director Phil Willmott brings the intense focus of the intimate Finborough Theatre to bear on Miller’s final work, Finishing The Picture, opening for a four week limited season on Tuesday, 12 June 2018 (Press Nights: Thursday, 14 June 2018 and Friday, 15 June 2018 at 7.30pm.) As the women of today’s Hollywood campaign for dignity and equality, Finishing the Picture is a razor sharp psychological study of an abused, misunderstood female star and the havoc her unpredictability brings to a film set in 1961. Inspired by the filming of The Misfits, the screenplay Miller wrote for his then wife, Marilyn Monroe, and focused on the bemused and exasperated director, screen writer, producer, acting coaches and crew that closely mirror the real life production team of The Misfits – and whilst leading lady Kitty shares many characteristics with Monroe herself, Finishing the Picture – Arthur Miller’s very final play – is a devastating indictment of how a male-dominated movie industry inadvertently destroyed a vulnerable young woman, even as they transformed her into a screen goddess, and how they were unable to deal with the wreckage they caused.

  • Harold Sanditen
    Harold Sanditen Harold was born in Oklahoma – you know, where the wind comes sweeping down the plain, Oklahoma – and has lived in London since 1987. In 2007, after 20 years as a UK based theatre producer, Harold decided to move on from producing and do something he’d always wanted to do – give singing/cabaret performance a try and see if he was any good at it! In September, 2008 he performed his first solo cabaret show, The Secret of Life, at The Duplex in New York. He figured if he was going to fail, it shouldn’t be on his home turf. The show was successful enough for Harold to bring it home to London, where he performed it in November, 2008 at Pizza on the Park. Harold’s second show, Love Exposed, was performed in London at Pizza on the Park as well as in New York at Don’t Tell Mama in 2009 and 2010. His third show, Thoughts ‘Round Midnight, was premiered in London at The Pheasantry in September 2010 and then in New York at Don’t Tell Mama in October. He reprised it at The Pheasantry in January 2011 prior to Chicago, New York and Hornchurch, Essex. Thoughts ‘Round Midnight returned to North America in June, 2011, where Harold made his Toronto, Los Angeles, San Diego and Palm Springs debuts. Thoughts ‘Round Midnight returned to The Pheasantry in October, 2011 and January, 2012. Shades of Blue, Harold’s fourth show, premiered in London at The Pheasantry in March 2012 and returned several times, as well as playing in New York at Don’t Tell Mama and The Metropolitan Room, in London at the Crazy Coqs, and at the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame in Tulsa.

  • Introduction to Ecovenue Ecovenue Is a Signifi Cant Theatre-Specifi C Environmental Project Being Run by the Theatres Trust
    Introduction to Ecovenue Ecovenue is a signifi cant theatre-specifi c environmental project being run by The Theatres Trust. It aims to improve the environmental performance of forty-eight London theatres and raise awareness of how to make theatres greener. Ecovenue is promoting the sustainability of theatres and the reduction of carbon emissions through the provision of free theatre-specifi c, environmental advice. The project started in 2009 and runs until 2012. Forty-eight venues each undergo an Environmental Audit, and receive a Display Energy Certifi cate (DEC) and Advisory Report. They track their energy use through SMEasure. Each venue receives a second DEC a year after their fi rst to measure progress. Ecovenue includes a ‘DEC Pool’ of performing arts venues across the UK that have obtained DECs. The DEC Pool helps us to evaluate the project and share best practice and information, establish meaningful benchmarks, and provide a better understanding of energy use of theatres. Any theatre can join the DEC Pool. The Trust’s Theatres Magazine provides quarterly reports on the participants and the work of the Ecovenue project. The Theatres Trust Ecovenue project receives fi nancial support from the European Regional Development Fund.

    HOME is a trading name of xx Greater Manchester Arts Ltd a company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales No: 1681278 Registered office 2 Tony Wilson Place Manchester M15 4FN. Charity No: 514719 PRESS RELEASE For immediate release Séayoncé comes to HOME for the first time with Déjà Voodoo Séayoncé: Déjà Voodoo HOME, Manchester 8 and 9 Dec 2020 Last year, Séayoncé: Déjà Voodoo performed to sold out crowds at Soho Theatre and the Edinburgh Fringe. Now, the legendary ghost-whisperer and baddest bitch in the spirit world is coming to Manchester’s HOME for the very first time. Hell-bent on feeling love’s embrace, Séayoncé reawakens the soul of her past soulmate William Shakespeare into a voodoo doll, but by doing so they alert another possessive ex- whom Séayoncé left for the Bard- the darkest of demons himself… the Devil. Hell hath no fury like… the Devil scorned and he’s determined to stop this union and prove Séayoncé is a pure evil force just like him. It’s a camp celestial journey that would put Mystic Meg to shame, packed with expertly crafted jokes, voodoo and ex-lover drama. This show exhibits an array of comedic styles, heart lifting cabaret ballads, improvised spiritual audience interaction, puppetry, lip syncs, with a dash of the occult, all of which make up an epic alternative comedy show like no other. With the sole purpose to spread joy and laughter, Séayoncé Déjà Voodoo is a fabulous introduction for those who are yet to encounter the camp ecstasy of Queer performance.

Sep 7, 2016 THE GREAT DIVIDE by Alix Sobler Finborough Theatre 4th - 20th September 2016 ‘Seamless performances and thought-provoking writing’ ★★★★ Based on real events in New York, 1911 “The Great Divide” is a cleverly constructed hard-hitting drama that centres on the struggles of a group of young female Triangle Shirtwaist Factory workers fighting for better working conditions and unionisation. Rosa, a Jewish immigrant, tells the story of her life and role in a general strike. Although the strike is successful, the workers concerns about Health & Safety are not addressed and the ending is inevitable – 146 workers are killed in a subsequent fire. Lauded playwright Alix Sobler skilfully weaves human stories into the politics of the play and whilst maintaining its historical context, “The Great Divide” manages to make a powerful statement about the lack of workers’ rights today. “We tell the story over and over in the hopes that they will learn,” says Rosa of future generations, but we still have sweatshops, appalling conditions for immigrant workers and horrific factory accidents that are preventable. Sobler gives a voice to the nameless women who lost their lives that day and through Rosa we get to know the people behind the tragedy that shaped workplace reform in America. “The point is you were a person Rosa and that is why they’ll care,” assures her friend when Rosa doubts that we, the audience, are interested in her plight. She believes that she and her friends are lost in history and rather than changing the world, the lessons of their deaths go unheeded.

(Funded by a Central Research Bursary) Supervisors: Dr. Stephen Farrier and Dr. Experience Bryon Brief synopsis of research: hoo:ha is the development of a practice that defines, illuminates, and exploits a dissonance between laughter and desire, funniness and sexiness, and amusement and seduction in order to 1. create comic strategies at the expense of said dissonance, and 2. challenge heteronormative and patriarchal strands of humour theory.
