FAYE DRISCOLL AT LUCY GUERIN INC
GOB SQUAD
LE PATIN LIBRE
TEATRO DE LOS SENTIDOS
Faye Driscoll (p38) leads a fun, messy,
transformational performance practice
where more not less is possible. In this
workshop hosted by Lucy Guerin Inc (p39),
explore how we experience ourselves in
active relationship to our bodies, images
and fantasies.
Canada’s Le Patin Libre (p36) present a
series of playful workshops for beginners
through to more advanced ice skaters.
Gain an insight into the strategies and
methodologies that Gob Squad (p24) use
when creating new works. Explore the
company’s approach to text, video and
action in the creation of touching, humorous
and confessional performance works that
mix reality with fiction.
Spain’s Teatro de los Sentidos (p18) host
a workshop based on the exploration of
body memory and the potential of games
as a transformation tool and a source
of knowledge.
In 1995, the Lincoln Center Theatre in New
York held the inaugural Directors Lab,
and for 25 years they have nurtured the
development of theatre directors from
across the world. In 2015, the acclaimed lab
expanded to Australia with Directors Lab:
Melbourne as part of Melbourne Festival.
Like its New York counterpart, Directors Lab:
Melbourne enables professional directors to
take part in an intensive creative laboratory.
Participating directors will share their
skills, methodologies and learnings within a
community of peers through masterclasses,
workshops and explorations.
