From early October we'll be running a series of open, free workshops in Dance City Newcastle as part of the process of building a new ensemble to tour NIL BY MOUTH and other work. Click here for OPERA session at Dance City (PDF) We'll also be running a residential workshop early next year to begin the devising and rehearsal process. The process of devising & rehearsing Nil by Mouth will start in late August and run through to late September. We'll be inviting a number of people other than the cast to take part in this process. We'll also be running workshops in basic trapeze, ritual dance and neutral mask work. Some of these will be open to anyone who's interested. There will be details about these sessions on this page in the coming weeks. Nil by Mouth will be touring the Northeast of England and other parts of the UK & Europe from September to November 2008. The project includes a series of post performance workshops. More details about the workshops will be on this page once the tour is booked.
