The Wright School
London, England, UK
John Wright has never been of the opinion that you always do your best work in an atmosphere of seriousness and intensity, so his sessions tend to be fast moving and entertaining, people tend to be up and doing most of the time and there is a lot of laughter. “When were having a good time we forget that we are working hard, flops become more bearable and can be seen in the context of the workshop rather than signaling the end of your career, as a result we can take more risk”.
The Wright school is composed of small self-contained units designed to support and provoke the activities of the working theatre practitioner. The Wright school can go anywhere in the world, courses can be designed for the needs of a particular company or to those of a small group of artists.
You can duck in and out of The Wright School whenever you like and you don't have to mortgage your mother to go there! John has a unique system of assessment, where those who mess up get the best marks and those who are too good get lousy marks because they are only showing off! The idea is not to achieve perfection but to be in the moment as yourself second by second.
John Wright’s work is about making theatre and inspiring other people to do the same. The aim of The Wright School is to facilitate and inspire theatre making in all its forms. If you have your own company you are much more in control of your personal development as an artist. If you are toying with the idea of writing a play then the Wright School is an excellent place to find a group to help you develop these ideas. |
