WORKSHOPS
"Amy Gwilliam's sessions are brilliantly playful investigations of showing up. If you have something you burn to show to the world, to stand up for, to revel in, to share, to expose then Amy will help you make that show. And don't think show for the theatre, your show can be anywhere, your audience can be anyone." (A. Cooper)
Upcoming Workshop:
“Shaker, Maker, (Rule) Breaker”
on Saturday 13th & Sunday 14th April 2024 from 10am - 5pm
at BOLD in Elephant and Castle, London
Join me in this first in-person & public workshop since 2022 (when I gave birth). An arms-open-wide, soul-seeking-sublime invitation into the world of TSODU - aka The School of Dramatic Unlearning - and the rest of your life ;)
We will shake off, and out, and into our most sensational and ludicrous selves;
We will make new things happen - experiments, acts, characters, stories, shows;
We will break (the rules), welcoming our exquisite, messy, meaningful role as shape-shifters and change-makers.
This weekend will thoroughly and magnificently bring you closer to how you need and want to make original theatre and performance. Joining a community of creative humans, you will be given space to play impulsively, act instinctively and invent radically. A vibrant pause to play, reflect and re-vitalise our process and practice as shakers, makers and rule-breakers.
