FREE Masterclass
Spare Tyre is holding FREE a masterclass open to anyone interested in our way of working.
A rare opportunity for established and emerging artists to ask us: "How do we do what we do?"
Spare Tyre’s history of producing bold and powerful theatre that inspires and challenges communities, artists and audiences stretches over thirty years.
Spare Tyre’s practice is based upon harnessing, capturing and valuing life experience. The creation of a safe and supportive process is vital. We use drama and storytelling as tools to release the power of the untold story and tap the talents of people who have long been written off by society. The technique of focusing on the personal to illustrate a wider political point has become the Spare Tyre trademark.
The masterclass will explore the following areas:
• Understanding the needs and aspirations of a specific community
• Understanding risk and challenge
• Providing a framework/ theatre language the community can use and adapt to express themselves
• The role of the interested outsider
• Using personal stories that illustrate the wider political point
• Collaboration, multi art forms
• Being open to a range of creative expression
Nurturing The Creative Impulse will be facilitated by Isaac Ngugi. Isaac has been involved in physical theatre arts training in the community for over 14 years and has worked with Spare Tyre for 10 years. During his time with us he has been Assistant Director for our production of Feeble Minds, Tutor on our inc.Theatre skills course and Mentor on our Go Inc To Work programme.
