The Novel as Chorus

A main workshop of the 23rd Theatre Summer Camp, hosted by the Hellenic Theatre/Drama & Education Network. Conducted in English; booking is managed by the organisers.

Residential Intensive

Adapting Literature for Ensemble Performance

An intensive for directors and teachers on bringing novels to the stage with large casts. Working together on an original adaptation of a young adult novel, we explore how chorus, choral narration, puppetry and multiple protagonists can carry stories a small cast cannot — drawing on Brendon's large-ensemble adaptations including The Handmaid's Tale and Holes.

Chelmsford Theatre Workshop Weekend

In partnership with Chelmsford Theatre. Booking is managed directly by the venue.

Saturday

Facilitating for Presence

A full-day workshop on the least visible and most consequential facilitation skill. How you hold the room before creativity or depth can emerge — structure, authority, and the conditions for genuine engagement.

Sunday

A Sunday with Your Practice

A slower, reflective day to step out of the week-to-week churn and spend a Sunday alongside your practice. Guided reflection and structured conversation — not a training day, not a therapy space.
