Hey! How was it?

[@stinkyjade42]

This was fantastic to watch - I used this in part of my University essay focusing on Frantic Assembly's devising techniques!

[@ebenezerasime7735]

Hello, I am teaching Drama in High School and at the moment working on Collaborative Theatre. I will appreciate if you can share your essay on Frantic Assembly's devising techniques with me if you don't mind. Thank you.

What about the ladies frantic? :(

[@louiseegan6085]

***** Frantic do lots of Learning and training for both sexes! www.franticassembly.co.uk/learn/ I think the point of this project is that often certain groups of young men are intimidated by theatre and think it's not for them, and the energy and strength of a typical Frantic production perhaps appeals to young, possibly athletic men, who maybe have never thought of setting their big toe in a theatre before. Frantic are just happening to focus on that particular segment of society. Check out "Project Aims" on their fundraising page: secure.thebiggive.org.uk/projects/view/6959/frantic--ignition • To tackle low achievement amongst young men, by equipping participants with transferable life skills and raising their aspirations. • To challenge negative perceptions of young men by showcasing their skills, experience and achievements. • To remove barriers to participation in the arts for marginalised young men. • To recruit participants from diverse backgrounds, particularly those with little or no access to creative opportunities and those from disadvantaged backgrounds. The patriarchy affects men too! :)

Physical theatre isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. It’s meant to look awkward at times. It is very intrinsically conceptual

[@deanwinchester5882]

@@kakiytjarone8415 Yeah I know I got sent here by my drama teacher and I do enjoy watching the students develop moves from building blocks, but it still looks a bit awkward since it is improvised so quickly and there's no context or music 😅

[@kakiytjarone8415]

@@deanwinchester5882 it’s not a performance, it’s an exercise. You are looking way too far into the aesthetics. Physical theatre at times is supposed to have more purpose rather than aesthetics. It isn’t a dance. These exercises are meant to do just that: exercise specific aspects.

[@deanwinchester5882]
