I'm delighted to extend the work I've been offering, particularly in the past months, to English-speakers, and invite you to a two-day dive into cultivating a technique of pleasure, presence, connection, and ensemble - qualities that in Self-With-Others underpin performance across all disciplines.
Self-With-Others is an interdisciplinary performance training, developed by John Britton in his years as a solo and ensemble performer and teacher, as MA director at Huddersfield University, and within DUENDE Ensemble. It's the fruit of some thirty years of practice and rigorous scientifically grounded research. It draws on a rich heritage of practice and principle geared towards personal and communal empowerment, self-determination and sustainability of practice.
We'll train, improvise, learn together. It will be fun, at times challenging, surprising or frustrating. Over this short journey, you'll plant embodied seeds of some of the principles of Self-With-Others, learn how to give and receive feedback and a solid experiential learning pedagogy.
