The Lismore Theatre Company (LTC) has developed an exciting and innovative project and is calling all interested creative people wanting to learn new skills and have the opportunity to perform on stage.
Highly qualified and internationally experienced choreographer, director, and teacher, Deborah Mills is teaming up with LTC in the creation and development of an original theatre work from the ground up: from script-writing to stage.
Sharon Brodie, President of LTC, says ‘this adventure into the realm of dance-theatre is new and risk-taking for us since movement is the primary focus.’
This ground-breaking project consists of 12 months of workshops culminating in an original production in February 2026 at Rochdale Theatre.
Ms Mills calls this process ‘Embodied Theatre’.
‘My process places the human body at the heart of the narrative,’ she explained.
‘I train the performers to use their bodies to express their emotions, so the spoken text is fully embodied. My hope is that participants will take to the stage this time next year!’
All levels welcome
Adults of all levels of experience with an interest in improvisation, movement exploration, experimentation with props, script development and performance, are most welcome to join the workshops and share in the fun of theatre-making.
Workshops will be held at Rochdale Theatre, Goonellabah on Tuesdays 6-9pm starting February 18 and every third Sunday of the month 10am to 4pm starting February 16. For more information email: [email protected] or phone 0406 399 842.
