SELF PRODUCING

 

This one is for people who want to produce and perform. This one is about the two you’s; on and off the stage, the one that says this show is shit, and the one that has to say it is shit hot.

 

Chatting through:

• Money, if it exists and where to find it

• Making friends with venues

• Managing people and their expectations

• Paying people and then being in the rehearsal room with those people

• Marketing a show that hasn’t been made yet

 

PRODUCING FOR EDINGURGH FRINGE

 

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the only reason ThisEgg really exists. It is the biggest arts festival in the world. It’s not easy but having been for over 10 years in a row, I clearly think it’s worth it somehow.

 

Is my show ready?

How do I get my show there?

What needs to be done?

Why go?

​

CO-CREATING

 

In the rehearsal room we are all performers, makers, directors & an audience. 

 

This workshop is about trusting your gut, finding your fun and sharing the responsibility.

 

We will explore some ways into making theatre from nothing in a democratic devising process.

​

SAYING SOMETHING BIG WHEN WE ARE SMALL

The personal is political.

 

Why?

Why you? Why now? For who? Who cares?

If you had an hour on stage, what would you want to say?

 

This workshop is about making a show that is about you, the world and you in that world. We will try our best to make those big questions feel manageable, and imagine a process to make that show.

​

CROSS ART FORM COLLABORATION

 

ThisEgg like to explore styles to celebrate different forms of entertainment; when text can’t conjure up the feeling, they sing. When words can’t describe the feeling, they move. They play themselves. When that’s too much, they put on costumes. 

 

We will be thinking about about when we might use what when. And how many things we can do at once. Get ready to do a bit of everything.

​

WORKING WITH FRIENDS

 

ThisEgg is founded on friendships and seeing the potential in the people that surround you. Bring a friend or more (however old or new) to this workshop if you’ve ever thought about being on stage together.

 

We will look at putting the way you make, think, challenge and care into a show. We will improvise, sing, dance, make each other laugh, share secrets and tell stories.
