Welcome to our 2025 Residential

Come to the summer playground for 5 days of immersion into the world of playful performance in the stunning Hebden Bridge with instant access to natures artistry, creative nourishment and reset. 

​

On the course we will provoke you to engage your body, voice and mind playfully, freely and with deep pleasure to embolden your acting. 

​

Tapping into impulse through game, dance and improvisation we will guide you to go beyond the performer you think you are into one that is fitter, freer, funnier and more finessed. We draw heavily on the work of Philippe Gaulier who trains the spirit of the actor along with ensemble practices from John Britton and the work of Micheal Chekhov. 

“Participating in the performers playground with Alice and Mark is an exploration of presence, playfulness and ease. It is powerful and wonderful medicine to the madness of our time.”
