Did you know we are a charity? Since its opening in 1866, Shoreditch Town Hall has witnessed everything from Victorian reform and Sylvia Pankhurst’s activism, to vibrant boxing matches, and the electrifying Whirl-Y-Gigs in the 90s. Each era has left its mark on this iconic building to make it the creative venue it is today, and now it’s our turn to care for its future. Click here to find out more and donate

Come and get your monthly Theatre Re fix! Due to popular demand Theatre Re's monthly Sunday professional classes are continuing until the end of 2024 at Shoreditch Town Hall.

Rooted in Theatre Re’s training and creative process, sessions will focus on conditioning the body in preparation for: rigorous training, Corporeal Mime repertoire and technique, as well as improvisation and composition inspired by the company’s current projects.

Whether you are a seasoned professional performer wanting to enhance your physical presence and the specificity of your actions on stage, a newcomer to the theatre looking for a specific technique to ground your explorations, or an artist in need of a fresh approach to making, participants will develop their skills and creativity in an open, playful and generous environment.

Sessions will be led by Guillaume Pigé (Theatre Re Director and RADA Associate Teacher) and Claudia Marciano (Theatre Re Performer and Teacher). No previous experience in Corporeal Mime is needed to join, only your curiosity, playfulness and desire to learn!

"I have trained with Theatre Re in their various intensive workshops for the last 3 years. The programme is well-planned, never a dull moment, always engaging and of superb quality. Artists learn not only the invaluable movement techniques but the workshop provides an invaluable opportunity for collaboration and further development."
Feedback from Workshop Participant

“At first I found it challenging and sometimes even uncomfortable to move my body in certain directions. However, as soon as I was able to free myself from my own limitations,
doors opened to a world I had never had the opportunity to explore before. It was exciting hair-raising and inspirational. Without a doubt, the whole week was mind-blowing and
revitalising.”
Feedback from Workshop Participant

"It expanded my vision, creativity and awareness of body and mind. I have never attended a workshop with this much focus and interest. It was very rich of materials and also gave me an
enormous feeling of joy and pleasure."
Feedback from Workshop Participant

"I found the workshop very inspiring and felt exceedingly lucky to participate…As a relatively new parent it is rare to be able to be allowed time and space for being an artist. What a joy to
reconnect with that part of me once more."
