About this event

This dance-based workshop will directly respond to the live performances of the Reckless Sleepers’ work A String Section during the Future Flares Festival. As the workshop facilitator and a performer in the work, Rachel will share and articulate some of the complex decision-making processes of the performer/s, allowing an insight into the internal world of the piece. Using Leen Dewilde’s choreographic score as a framework to structure the workshop activities, participants will be invited to devise their own creative response based on their interaction with the live work. Attendance at one or both performances of A String Section is therefore recommended to participate in this workshop. Please wear something you can comfortably move in, be prepared to work in bare feet and bring water.

Organised by

The Future Flares Festival 2024 brings to Manchester a globe-trotting reflection on destruction and meaning, an international fusion of workshop and performance, the guided tour of a book, some staged performance art, a large-scale exploration of performance and image-making, and more. Presented jointly by Manchester School of Theatre and Manchester School of Art, and along with a programme of workshops and events, Future Flares re-thinks theatre as a location for reality more than illusion, for acts of real destruction and real creation, that might just help with some of the biggest questions facing us today.
