Following the performance of Skywater, Facewater, Underwater Waltz on April 17, 2026, we are leading a workshop:
SOAK LAB present:
Other Eyes/Other Ears: a workshop in creative collaboration
Saturday April 18, 2026 (The House, Plymouth)
10am-4pm, including 1-2pm lunch break
Led by the makers of Skywater, Facewater, Underwater Waltz, this workshop will activate strategies for working collaboratively to generate performance material and investigate creative forms of thought and presentation.
Complementing Skywater…, the workshop will also prompt thinking and making by contemplating the conditions of the deep sea. For example: uncertainty; waiting; living under pressure; elaborate disguise; regeneration; and other minds.
By following a series of instructions, participants will engage with different approaches to research, material generation, collaborative and generative methods, reflection and analysis, creative feedback and listening.
Collaboration will be central to the workshop. Connection is vital: this is why we collaborate. The practice of finding agreement within a group, of tolerating difference, and how we live up to the presence of others, measures everything we do. We aspire to pay attention as a practice of social cooperation.
Disciplines of performance, writing, movement, and creative response will be activated in different forms and combinations.
No prior performance experience is necessary.
