GOLKK Theatre<\/a>, one of the Graduate Theatre Companies sponsored by the School of Arts<\/a>, will be presenting their work \u2018rest[less]\u2019 in the Gulbenkian<\/a> Theatre on Wednesday 15 May 2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018rest[less]\u2019 explores the topic of over-working and the phenomenon of burnout through the lens of beehives using GOLKK\u2019s unique movement language. The piece premiered as a work-in-progress at The Place<\/a>, London, earlier this year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The performance will include a curtain-raiser from students from Herne Bay High School<\/a>, developed as part of nine-week project where GOLKK worked with a Year 9 Drama class, giving students experience of physical theatre and ensemble work. The curtain-raiser will explore the theme of stress, and incorporate playful devising with poignant discussions surrounding school-related stress and how to cope.<\/p>\n

GOLKK have also facilitated workshops with Girls\u2019 Dance Company<\/a>, an after-school programme for female students at Herne Bay High School.<\/p>\n

Tickets for the performance cost \u00a35\/\u00a310. To book, please see the page here:
