We are very excited to have the wonderful Sean Croft, back with us on THURS MARCH 27th, to teach a STAGE COMBAT guest workshop: 

Sean is a Performer, Director, Choreographer & Teacher specialised in Physical Theatre & Stage Combat.

Sean trained at École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq & East 15 Acting School.

At The Lecoq School over the two year program, he trained in devised theatre, ensemble building, character development, mask, mime, object manipulation, puppetry and clowning, among a vast array of other Physical Theatre based specialist skills & performance styles.

At East 15 over the three year Bachelors degree course. Sean covered extensive training in specialist skills & nine different weapon sets alongside an extensive acting and performance program, in contemporary and classical work and practitioners.

Sean’s approach to theatre making follows predominantly from his training at the Lecoq School, with the body first, and how it moves within the space.

Observing the world around us with playful curiosity and finding a way of translating this into a performative medium.

Our 4th  very successful Behind The Mic, stand up comedy event, took place on FRIDAY FEB 7th, and what a joy it was! So proud of all students that took part, you were not only  very professional, but also incredibly hilarious! Here's to Number 5! 

Extremely excited to have as our guest teacher on THURSDAY NOV 7th, the poet and spoken word artist 

ZAVIER COYNE. 

From spoken word and conscious rap, to poetry and guided meditation, to hip hop and indie-soul, to creative lecturing and public speaking, to psychology and neuroscience, ZAVIER’s lyricism draws from many angles.Creating at this rare intersection of disciplines, ZAVIER explores the boundaries of what spoken word can be and where it is shown.Performing for the first time in 2023, ZAVIER has already performed amongst the likes of Wim Hof, Afriquoi, Fearne Cotton, Dr. Vandana Shiva and Nick Mulvey. His performances have extended beyond UK festivals and into educational organisations, multi-billion pound companies and wellbeing retreats.Regardless of where he performs, socially conscious lyricism and site-specific engagements creatively captivate and educate the audience. He creates and conducts experiences, rather than performances, blurring the lines between performing and creative facilitation. With material specific to each space and its audience, enabling a deeper response to the environment.
