Listening with Your Eyes Workshop

Vamos Theatre is the UK's leading full mask theatre company, taking its funny and fearless brand of wordless theatre across the length and breadth of the country and beyond since 2006. Our trademark style marries full mask with strong visual design and an original soundtrack. We make accessible, humorous, human, and fearless work which is based on real life stories, and our productions are rooted strongly in social research.We tour a full scale mask production throughout the UK annually, as well as performing at national and international festivals and events. We share our skills in schools, with NHS staff, in care homes, with teachers, actors, carers, social workers, the d/Deaf community, business leaders and more. Our full mask characters entertain at festivals and celebrations, bringing fun and cheek to events nationwide, and our Youth Theatres learn the skills that will take them, and full mask theatre, into the future.“One of the most innovative, exciting full mask companies currently touring.”Ian Barge, The Stage"The magic of Rachael Savage's production is that it creates such a vivid world without voice and words."The Guardian

Join Vamos Theatre for a workshop that helps build skills of empathy, insight, listening and trust in the arena of health and care

The Other Place

Listening with your Eyes is a workshop that helps builds skills of empathy, insight, listening and trust particularly in the arena of Health and Care. Suitable for all experiences, Listening with your Eyes explores practically the many ways in which we make connections, with the emphasis on the non-verbal. It looks at the impact of body language, mood, eye-contact, touch, and gesture, and shows how tone of voice can change the meaning of the words we say. The workshop offers an opportunity for participants to see the powerful effect of non-verbal techniques, and their benefit in helping us make real and honest connections – particularly with those living with dementia. The workshop is led in a supportive and playful way - our aim is for everyone to learn through their own discovery; to feel for themselves, to see with their own eyes and so to empathise with others more easily.Rachael Savage, Artistic Director of Vamos Theatre, is running a workshop at the Royal Shakespeare Company, Stratford-upon- Avon on:Thursday, 12th October 2023: 2pm - 4pmWho is it for?
