Laughter and masks

I have just returned from the second Open Doors session in collaboration with Mansfield's Palace Theatre. These sessions are aimed at over 18s with a desire to learn a bit about theatre performance or build on existing skills.

Tonight we used neutral masks in order to look at our own bodies and habits. Some really interesting discoveries were made by individuals in relation to their own physicality and we began to understand what makes us unique. I would like to tell you all the insightful things our group members had to contribute, however what sticks in my mind more is the amount of laughing we all did!

The group is open to all. To find out more give us an email on info@coruscatetheatre.co.uk or call us on 07890529661

Open Doors Theatre Group

Today, Coruscate Theatre are hosting the first session for their new adult drama classes, 'Open Doors', in collaboration with Mansfield Palace Theatre. These sessions are designed for anyone over the age of eighteen who wishes to find out more about performing, develop skills and build on their own theatrical experience. Everyone is welcome regardless of previous experience.
The sessions take place in the Upstairs Lounge of Mansfield Palace Theatre from 7pm - 9pm. If you are interested in taking part and would like to know more, drop us an email at info@coruscatetheatre.co.uk or call us on 07890529661.

Brunts Brilliant Book Award

Coruscate Theatre recently completed their workshops in collaboration with Nottinghamshire County Council's 'Brilliant Book Award' at the Brunts School Mansfield. Students participated in drama and puppetry workshops relating to selected books from the Awards shortlist including, 'The Vampire Blog' by Pete Johnson and 'The Boy Who Fell Down Exit 43' by Harriet Goodwin.

The Big Move

As Coruscate Theatre have now reached the end of their residency at The Brunts School, Mansfield, they are developing the company into two branches. The first branch will remain in the East Midlands, directed by Georgia and will continue the educational and community work we have been implementing over the last 18 months. The second branch will move to London, directed by Lori and will be forming new relationships with local councils, arts organisations and fringe theatres.
We really appreciate all the support we have received from the local community in Mansfield and hope that our move to London will prove to be as rewarding!
