Burjesta Theatre Announce Weekly Workshops At The Casa Bar.

Burjesta Theatre, the team behind the excellent The Pied Piper of Liverpool, are starting up weekly workshops as from Wednesday 20th February and then every Wednesday thereafter. They take place at The Casa Bar, Hope Street, Liverpool, L1 9BQ, starting time 7pm and cost £2 in. The first one next week will be a ‘taster session’, co-run by Mikyla Durkan and Julian Bond, co-founders of Burjesta.

Over the following months they will be delving into ‘the art of storytelling’, ‘clowning’, ‘commedia dell’ arte’, ‘Greek chorus work’ and much, much, more. The workshops themselves will feed directly into planned productions, one for end of June, one for beginning of September, with only people attending workshops being considered for roles within these productions.

The Casa might not be the first place that audiences think of plays as being performed in the Hope Street area of the city. However away from the Unity Theatre down the road and the looming cultural giant that is the new look Everyman Theatre, The Casa offers the chance for local productions to shine with actors who may be making their first tempting steps into the profession.  This was no less the case in the entertaining and thought provoking Julian Bond and Burjesta Theatre’s play, The Pied Piper Of Liverpool.
