Summer School 2014

Limited Places

25th-28th August

Have you ever wondered what kind of live performer you might be?

Here is your chance to find out. From 25-28 August 2014, Marisa Carnesky will once again open the doors to Carnesky’s Finishing School, a four-day summer school in new-cabaret, performance and physical theatre culminating in your own show night at the Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club, London E2 6NB.

Marisa Carnesky has been teaching devised cabaret, physical theatre and performance workshops for over 16 years. This has included regular programmes over a two year residency at the The Roundhouse, visiting workshops at drama and performance programmes at Universities including Sheffield, Goldsmiths, Queen Mary, Essex, Lancaster and Exeter. She has also run international courses, most recently at the City of Women in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Carnesky Productions is an artist-lead organisation committed to interdisciplinary performance events and workshops. Founded by Marisa Carnesky, the company has developed a form, which exists between live art, new circus, experimental theatre, and installation art. The Carnesky aesthetic is inspired by spectacular popular entertainment from funfair rides to waxwork exhibitions, magic illusions, and grand ritual. Embedded within Carnesky’s practice is an interest in issues surrounding gender and the feminine in mythology and history with particular emphasis on cultural political themes such as migration, displacement, identity, global conflicts, and the role of ritual and superstition.
