Promenade Theatre Techniques
Have you ever wanted to put together your own interactive “Cultural Heritage Tour”? Would you like to spice up your historical walks with a little “theatre” ? Not too sure where to begin? This short course will provide some of the answers and skills, and hopefully the confidence to begin.
This workshop is organised by InterActing UK in collaboration with the Friends of Stockton and Darlington Railway, and funded by Stockton Borough Council.
We’ll get to grips with Promenade Theatre and look at street performance, different narrative styles, techniques of interaction, health and safety issues, how to engage your audience, and most importantly how to keep their attention throughout your tour.
Coffee, tea, water, juice, sandwiches and fruit will be provided by InterActing UK.
