WORKSHOP: Making Solo Work 

With Holly Beasley-Garrigan

This workshop will explore theatre-making from an autobiographical devising perspective. A practical, fun couple of hours to give you some tools to get you thinking about how you might begin to make art from your own experience. Please wear something comfortable that you can move in.

 

About the performer

Holly Beasley-Garrigan

Holly is a Performance-Maker, Choreographer, Movement Director and Performer with a background spanning Theatre, Dance, Music and Live Art.

Concerned with re-claiming space - as a queer, female artist who grew up on benefits - she likes making anarchic work that seriously questions the traditional ways we’re permitted to create and consume art. Holly specialises in devised, site-specific, immersive and inter-disciplinary performance for unusual spaces and audiences.

Previous acclaim includes a Scotsman Fringe First Award & MTN Innovation Award for Fine Chisel’s Dumbstruck (2013); ThreeWeeks Editors' Award for Fine Chisel’s Edinburgh Season (2012); Best Collective Award for The Flanagan Collective’s Adelaide Season (2016); Vault Festival Outstanding Contribution Award for The Guild of Misrule’s The Great Gatsby (2017).
