The School of Arts at the University of Kent are offering partner schools the opportunity to participate in drama workshops run by graduate theatre company and resident artists GOLKK.<\/p>\n
GOLKK are a physical theatre ensemble who make their performances through improvisations and play. They offer workshops which are designed to develop students\u2019 creativity and confidence in physical performance, and give a new perspective on how theatre can be devised. Workshops usually consist of professional warm ups, devising games, ensemble development and physical training\u2013 inspired by the work of practitioners such as Michael Chekhov, Jerzy Grotowski and John Britton.<\/p>\n
GOLKK workshops can be tailored to suit different age groups, with younger years (aged 12- 15) getting a taste of how play can be used as a theatrical tool, and older groups (GCSE+) having a deeper focus on physical techniques and their application to performance. Although GOLKK specialise in ensemble devising, their workshops can develop valuable skills for solo work (such as monologue assessments) and script work. Students from past workshops stated that GOLKK\u2019s work made them feel \u2018confident\u2019, \u2018creative\u2019, \u2018challenged\u2019 and \u2018excited\u2019.<\/p>\n
