In this week-long intensive, you will explore physical theatre and devising techniques Vatic use to create their shows. Participants will experience what it is like to train, play, question and devise as part of the company. Part of the training will involve working site-specifically, exploring how Vatic’s work is influenced by nature, architecture and the world outside the theatre. There will be a small sharing at the end of the week with an invited audience of industry professionals.

The residency is suitable for actors who want to explore movement, dancers, choreographers, directors and other arts professionals or students who have some experience of movement training.

Vatic is a Norwich-based physical theatre company, who create multi-disciplinary creative projects to bring climate science and communities closer together. They launched in 2023 with ‘Norwich Under the Water’ performed in the cloisters of Norwich Cathedral. The company is led by experienced performers, choreographers and practitioners Sophie Utting and Ben Nash.

Cost: £250 for the 5 days.

The last scratch piece for Embers !!!

Is SHUSH

An exert from research and development in 2021-2022. It's written by Ryan Murphy and performed by Maia Ayling.
SHUSH is a new piece of theatre that explores degenerative hearing loss and the diminishment of sound through music, circus and physical theatre. A show exploring cultural boundary and social identity; existing between worlds, and belonging to neither. Highlighting the silent, undefined connections that we all share, where the loudest actions are lost in translation, and the tiniest looks become deafening.

No Woman is an Island

A one person show starring Roz following her heartfelt rollercoaster ride to success. This piece is full of heartbreak and laughter in a dark, gritty and hard-hitting drama that looks at addiction, homelessness and gender

The 4th scratch for Embers
