Physical Theatre Masterclass: Exeter Northcott Futures

  • Show Information

Fresh from their smash hit run at the Exeter Northcott Theatre in Robin Hood, we are excited to welcome Le Navet Bete to run a masterclass in Physical Theatre.

In this masterclass we explore different ways of using the human body in performance and storytelling. With humour, tenderness and story at the centre of the conversation, how can we create performances that are compelling and insightful using the human form as the main character?


About the artist

Le Navet Bete is made up of three performers, Matt Freeman, Al Dunn and Nick Bunt, alongside their amazing production and marketing team. Since meeting at Plymouth University in 2003, they have created 12 indoor shows, and 3 outdoor shows to great critical acclaim. Their style is heavily influenced by clowning styles such as bouffon, but they have developed a unique storytelling aspect to their craft that takes the traditional clowning and slapstick forms to new depths. Their mission is to create and tour hilarious, physical and totally accessible comedy theatre using creative and engaging storytelling for absolutely everyone (ages 4 – 104!) throughout the UK and internationally.


This workshop is aimed at early career artists, age 18+ only.
