SUMMARY:TDTWT Intensive II: Original Anarchy
LOCATION:Studio 5\, London Performance Studios\, Penarth Centre
DESCRIPTION:Original Anarchy is led by Valerie McCannDrawing inspiration fr
 om Deborah Hay’s question “What if there is here?”\, this workshop a
 pproaches composition from a non-hierarchical philosophy of performance\, 
 embracing the present as its primary material. Informed by physical/labora
 tory theatre traditions\, experimental choreographic questions will be use
 d to challenge assumptions\, encouraging participants to look to the unkno
 wn to build and imagine compositions.Each evening will begin with embodied
  improvisation and ensemble-building exercises to prepare and inform solo 
 and group composition tasks. Is it possible to approach composition free f
 rom expectation? What might you find if you leave your agenda at the door?
  AboutThroughout the Autumn Season\, London Performance Studios is excited
  to host a series of five workshops led by our resident theatre company Th
 e Director’s Theatre Writer’s Theatre (TDTWT). The workshops are tailo
 red to professional actors\, physical theatre practitioners\, and drama st
 udents. Each workshop offers 15 hours of immersive exploration over three 
 to five days. Led by artists across a wide spectrum of disciplines\, these
  sessions will explore Active Analysis\, mask work\, puppetry\, physical t
 heatre\, and voice.Valerie McCann is an invisibly and dynamically disabled
  body and time-based artist\, facilitator\, and researcher. As a performer
  and co-conspirator\, she dances across traditional theatre\, choreographi
 c\, and performance art disciplines.With home bases in Los Angeles and Lon
 don\, McCann works collaboratively with artists and ensembles across the U
 S\, UK\, and EU. McCann is a founding member of ARTEL. She has trained ext
 ensively in the Viewpoints with Mary Overlie\, the Six Viewpoints Institut
 e\, and SITI Company\, and serves on the board of the SITI Alumni Associat
 ion. She is an original member of London Performance Studios resident comp
 any\, The Director’s Theatre Writer’s Theatre (TDTWT). Her solo works 
 explore the intersection of classic texts and postmodern choreographies. A
 s an embodied researcher\, McCann’s interest lives in the space where ri
 gour meets reality\, reimagining methodologies through relational experien
 ce.The Director’s Theatre Writer’s Theatre (TDTWT) is an international
  ensemble that has been creating plays primarily within the contemporary v
 isual art context since 2013—integrating the black box of the theatre in
 to the white cube of the gallery.TDTWT’s work forms a hybrid of dramatic
  and post-dramatic theatre\; blending post-dramatic aesthetics\, classic n
 arrative structures like melodrama and queer theory\, and utilising Stanis
 lavsky’s Active Analysis and structured Etudes. TDTWT stages original wr
 iting\, adaptations of plays or novels\, and commissions new plays by asso
 ciate writers.As of 2025\, TDTWT is the resident theatre company at London
  Performance Studios\, where it produces and programmes productions or wor
 kshops on a seasonal basis with the aim to create a solid and constant rep
 ertoire of contemporary theatre and performance. No one will be turned awa
