If you want to know about our company the website is <A href="http://www.improbable.co.uk">www.improbable.co.uk</A>. We have done wide ranging shows from improvised shows in tiny places, to west end/braodway shows, to building a flaming sticky tape tower in front of the sidney opera house. The common factor in the shows is creativity developed from improvisation and ensemble. Three years ago I recieved a NESTA fellowship to study connections between Mindell's World Work and `improvisation. As part of my research i of course came across open space technology. In January I will be opening the space for Improbable's first OS event.. "Devoted and Disgruntled" aimed at dealing with some of the things that might be better in my field of work. There might be people on this string who are actually involved in theatre who may want to come or people may simply be pleased to know it's happening. Its exciting to see all the different activity on here and interesting to see the discussions about deep democracy and Amy mindell's idea of "metaskills" which have been central to the work i have been developing. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Any way here's the advert.. no apologies i just cant keep it in!!!</DIV><DIV><B><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></B></DIV><DIV style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"><B>DEVOTED AND DISGRUNTLED</B></FONT></DIV><DIV style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"><B>What are we going to do about theatre?</B></FONT></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Verdana; min-height: 15px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana">Dear All,</FONT></DIV><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"> </FONT></P><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana">I have been involved with professional theatre and performance since I left college in 1985. Since that time I have created and co created shows which have ranged from totally improvised and devised work to classical texts for repertory theatres, from puppetry to site specific work and from dance theatre to comedy. I have performed, designed, written, devised, taught, improvised and served on the Board of the Actor's centre. Yet in all this time I have often felt an outsider in my own profession. There are things I love about theatre and things I find very difficult….things which I wish were different. I find myself both devoted and disgruntled. Over the years I have often found myself gossiping and moaning about how the world I work in could be better. Not just about what we put on the stage but how we produce, manage and administrate our work. How we create it in all aspects and how we treat each other as a creative community.</FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"> </FONT></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Verdana; min-height: 15px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana">As a result of a NESTA fellowship I have been able to train in and research some new ways of working with groups, learning from other creative and developmental fields. On 7th and 8th of January Improbable will be hosting an Open Space Event, which I will facilitate. It hopes to support some creative ideas and actions around the issues you might feel devoted and disgruntled about. It will address the things you care about and maybe wish could be different in any aspect of our profession. The things which you feel are important or unaddressed in our community.</FONT></DIV><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"> </FONT></P><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana">It will be the first time Improbable has hosted an event like this and I invite you to join us in this new adventure of trying to make change happen, or even if you are just curious about a new way of working with groups in a self organising way. I would like to stress that this event will not just be a discussion or a talking shop. We are aiming to take action and to make a difference.</FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"> </FONT></DIV><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"> </FONT></P><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana">If you care, see you there. </FONT></DIV><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"> </FONT></P><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana">Phelim</FONT></DIV><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"> </FONT></P><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana">Phelim McDermott,</FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"> </FONT></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana">Co-Artistic Director, Improbable</FONT></DIV><DIV style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana">---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</FONT></DIV><DIV style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana">Improbable’s Open Space Event</FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"> </FONT></DIV><DIV style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana">DEVOTED AND DISGRUNTLED</FONT></DIV><DIV style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana">What are we going to do about theatre?</FONT></DIV><P align="center" style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"> </FONT></P><DIV style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana">Facilitated by Phelim McDermott</FONT></DIV><P align="center" style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"> </FONT></P><DIV style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana">A two-day event, 7th and 8th January 2006, 10am – 7pm</FONT></DIV><P align="center" style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"> </FONT></P><DIV style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana">At National Youth Theatre, 443-445 Holloway Road, London, N7 6LW</FONT></DIV><P align="center" style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"> </FONT></P><DIV style="text-align: auto;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana">Although Open Space may be new to you it has been used all over the world with predictable results.
