Lone Twin Speakeasy

Modelled on Lone Twin’s extensive use of conversation as both a collaborative methodology and mode of performance this workshop offers an extended and focused space in which artists, either individually or in small groups, can discuss and share their practice with one of the company’s artistic directors, Gary Winters.

This workshop is an intensive version of the Lone Twin Speakeasy, which was developed to better reflect the company's own working practices and to better answer the direct needs of emerging performance-makers. Activities and exercises undertaken on the workshop will be guided by, and tailored to, one-to-one discussions with the participant artists – rather than built around pre-planned exercises. Instead the Speakeasy listens and responds to the participants’ needs and wishes.
