Join the cast of ForWhat Collective’s show “The Unbounded” for an explorative workshop on the use of devising and movement in verbatim theatre.
Want to take your physical theatre training to the next level? Join us for this exciting master class!
It will be a physically engaging session on the relationship between the spoken word and the body. The facilitators will offer alternatives to the traditional script-driven creation model and naturalistic theatrical approaches, giving primacy to verbatim style texts and collective creation writing through improvisation, abstraction and imagery. It is open to performers, theatre-makers, drama students and anyone with an enthusiasm to create through movement. Having a basic understanding of physical theatre practices is a bonus!
The collective comes from two years of intensive training in physical theatre at École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq, led by Hannah Rae-Sabyan, who is also an alumnus of the University of Toronto.
What you need to bring:
- Movement clothes
- Water Bottle
This workshop is in partnership with S.U.D.S.
Priority registration will be given to U of T Students.

ForWhat Collective
Before starting any project the ForWhat collective always asks itself, Why theatre? In an age with information available to us in the palm of our hands, it is important to reconnect on a more personal level with our society, one where we can’t simply hit the power button when we don’t agree with something that’s presented to us. We find comfort and safety behind our screens and theatre is a medium that allows for us to disconnect from the digital and come face to face with the realities of our society and its people.
ForWhat Collective produces visually and physically dynamic performances that challenge stigmatizations, poses questions and creates meaningful connections and conversations. The collective explores alternatives to the traditional script-driven creation model and naturalistic theatrical approaches, giving primacy to verbatim style texts and collective creation writing through body, gesture and image.
