Tea Leaf Theatre are looking for anyone who has some sort of connection to Japan or has an interest in Japanese culture to join in workshops exploring Japanese theatre.
The aim of these workshops is to explore how Japanese theatre skills can be transformed into a British theatre context. The workshops aim to stretch skills and enable participants to look at acting from a different perspective.
Tea Leaf Theatre is a London-based theatre company. They aim to bring together the East and West through modern theatrical media such as physicality, projected images, and live music (think Theatre de Complicite).
Unfortunately, they are unable to offer any payment to participants at this stage. However, you will not only gain some Japanese traditional theatre techniques but also learn how to use them for day to day acting requirements (ie Auditions).
There’s no long term commitment required, you simply need to attend a one or two day workshop over a period of time. Each session will focus on one element of Japanese theatre to be explored.
There will be several sessions over this year. So if you are interested to be involved in this project, please send your CV, headshot, and a short description about your relation to Japan; to tealeaftheatre@gmail.com. They will send further information on when they are going to happen.
