The production 'State of Nature' by Simon Turley, the latest from Theatrescience, will be taking place from 17 to 25 November.  With the support of a bursary from the Mills Fund, Will Thomas (undertaking an MA by Research in the School of Theatre, Performance and Cultural Policy Studies at Warwick) attended rehearsals to capture video, audio, and visual archive material, including interviews and design material, and will also cover the live performances.

All of this material will be made available on an interactive website, through Warwick, with links on Theatrescience's Facebook page and its official website (http://www.theatrescience.org.uk).

This workshop will demonstrate some of the methods available for use by academics and others that will allow them to engage in a relevant, exciting, innovative and interactive approach to case study education.  We will offer various techniques that show the benefit and importance of embodied learning in ways that are challenging but safe, and show how these work in conjunction with purpose-built case studies that address a variety of needs. There will be an opportunity to discuss the ways in which the material demonstrated in the session can be used and managed for individual purposes, and how the resources at the Institute for Advanced Teaching and Learning can be put at your disposal to create an exciting learning environment for your students.

The workshop will be led by Stephen Cornes in the CAPITAL Studio, Millburn House, 11am - 1pm, Monday 22 November.
