Complicité Workshop - 27th February-1st March - £340
Complicité have been world leaders in theatre-making for over 40 years, and we are thrilled to be able to host them here at Makers’ House Hastings.
This three-day workshop - lead by one of Complicité’s extraordinary associate artists - invites participants to come together to build an ensemble through physical training and play.
Using the games and exercises that have formed the foundation of Complicité’s practice for all of these years, you’ll deepen your awareness of the communicative power found in the relationship between the performer’s body, movement, the theatrical space, and physical expression. You will then explore how to use these elements as creative tools to tell rich and imaginative stories.
This workshop may be of particular interest to people who crave a way of engaging with forms of theatre that do not begin with a text, or to those who want to engage their bodies in a new way — regardless of physical ability.
This is guaranteed to be an extraordinary few days.
The workshop will take place at Makers’ House Hastings 27th February-1st March.
Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. If you would like to attend but the cost is prohibitive please email us here so we can discuss if our bursary scheme might be able to help.

About the company -
Complicité is an international touring theatre company led by Artistic Director and co-founder, Simon McBurney. Complicité creates work that strengthens human interconnection, using the complicity between performer and audience that is at the heart of the theatrical experience. The company works across art forms; believing theatre, opera, dance, film, radio, installation, publication and participatory arts can all be sites for the collective act of imagination.
Complicité’s recent work includes: the dance trilogy Figures in Extinction which premiered at Aviva Studios, Manchester in February and is currently on tour, the reimagined Mnemonic which played at the National Theatre in 2024, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, Can I Live? and The Encounter, as well as The Dark is Rising; an audio drama for BBC World Service and BBC Sounds based on Susan Cooper’s cult novel. Founded in 1983, they have won over 50 major theatre awards worldwide, and played in more than 40 countries.
Alongside Simon McBurney’s work, the company supports artists through its ‘Mudlarks’ strand; widening access and pro-actively seeking to support talented artists who are under-represented in the theatre sector.
Learning and engagement are central to their work and its award-winning creative engagement programme includes professional development, work in schools and colleges, and participatory projects with a range of communities.
