READY Training Programmes
Participation is a core element of our work and something we are incredibly passionate about.
Please see below for an outline of how our READY training programme workshop and seminars can support students development both in creating work and building performance skills. Theatre Re’s workshops will support learning and qualifications in drama, dance and contemporary performing arts at Levels 1, 2, 3, undergraduate and postgraduate study. We also regularly work with actors in training and industry professionals as well as community and youth groups.
All our learning activities are tailored to the group we are working with, so every workshop is different. Our approach is inclusive and relevant to all and we are fully committed to planning appropriate and high quality learning activities for a range of participants!

‘Guillaume Pigé and his company Theatre Re have been teaching and working creatively on RADA's MA Theatre Lab for some years now. Through the rigor and theatrical poetry of corporal mime / expression, the training offers our students a concrete way of extending a sense of what's possible for the actor body onstage, beyond naturalism. The training is rooted in a tradition of discipline and exploration, providing the students liberating and clear vocabularies for creating highly physical work, deepening a mutual respect for craft in the ensemble.'

Our training programmes aim to unlock creativity and develop collaborative and performance skills through :
- Discovering and using a specific movement language: Corporeal Mime
- Creating physical and visual original performance pieces
- Exploring the principle of the reverse metaphor by writing with movement, space and rhythm first
- Stimulating imagination and developing a taste for non-naturalistic work
- Giving students improvisation experience, using theatre conventions to construct their work whilst considering both form and narrative
- Building ways to communicate meaning and artistic intention through development of performance skills
- Engaging with all aspects of the theatre-making process (music, light, set, costume, props)
- Connecting with other artistic disciplines and traditions as well as non-artistic practices
- Discussing self-producing and empowering young people to make their own work through understanding the methodology of a practitioner
