Join Andrew Hale, who will be on stage at the Playhouse Theatre as Cyrano de Bergerac in October, for our Term 3 BSX Theatre Thrills & Skills workshop.
 
Some of the greatest theatrical literature was never meant to be played realistically. Heightened characters, absurd circumstances and surreal imagery are some tools used in non-naturalist theatre. This BSX Theatre Thrills & Skills workshop will develop your skills in textual analysis, physical characterization and introduce you to the areas of absurd theatre, epic theatre and theatre of cruelty.

Non-naturalism in the theatre exposes us to new ways of seeing and understanding ourselves and our reality. Symbolism, repetition and the manipulation of the audience expectations are some of the tools used in non-naturalistic performance.

This BSX Theatre Thrills and Skills workshop introduces participants to the use of non-naturalistic language, imagery and performance styles of the theatre of the absurd, the theatre of cruelty, and unlocks the potential of the subconscious as a creative tool.
