Emma Rice Company – Theatre Maker Taster Workshop

Emma Rice Company are running a theatre-maker taster workshop at The Lyceum on Thursday 22 October, a session that opens up their particular way of working to anyone interested in how they build a show. It's a taster, so it's an introduction rather than a full course, and the focus is on the company's approach to theatre-making.

What makes this one stand out is who's leading it. The session is run alongside members of the company's Tristan & Yseult team, so you're working with people who've been inside a production and know how the company's methods translate from a rehearsal room to a stage. If you've followed their work, you'll know they're not about a single, fixed style, but about a specific way of developing a piece—and this is your chance to see how that actually works from the inside.

It's a practical session, not a lecture, so you'll be doing rather than just listening. The Tristan & Yseult team will be there to guide you through the company's approach, and because it's a taster, it's designed to give you a feel for their process without needing to have a professional background in theatre. Whether you're a maker yourself or just curious about how a production comes together, it's a good way to get a first-hand look at how they do things.

The workshop takes place at The Lyceum in Edinburgh on Thursday 22 October. It's a single session, so it's an easy one to slot into a week without committing to a long-term course. If you've ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of an Emma Rice Company production, this is as close as you'll get to the actual process.
