Voloz Collective’s Performance Analysis and Evaluation Workshop

Nationwide

In-school workshop from Voloz Collective where students can watch, analyse and evaluate a physical theatre performance.

Suitable for: KS2, KS3, KS4, KS5, Higher

Subjects: Drama, English

Type: In-School

About.

A unique opportunity to see devised physical theatre from an award-winning international, Lecoq-trained theatre company.

Students will have the opportunity to ask questions about the devising process, Lecoq’s methodology, how to create and develop a theatre company, and any other questions that ignite their imagination.

Their performance is suitable for the performance evaluation questions in both GCSE and A-Level assessments. The Q&A offers a chance for students to gain a rare insight into their process and, if paired with a workshop, helps them to understand how those exercises can grow into a full performance.

THE SHOW: THE MAN WHO THOUGHT HE KNEW TOO MUCH

Wes Anderson meets Hitchcock meets Spaghetti Western in this fast-paced whodunnit. Winner of the Les Enfants Terribles and Greenwich Theatre Award 2020, this show is an intercontinental, inter-genre, cinematic caper of accusations, accidents, and accents. This story follows Roger Clement, a Frenchman in 1960’s New York. His days have always followed a highly predictable, yet not unpleasant, routine – until a minor delay saves him from an explosion, igniting a powder-keg of
twists and turns as Roger chases his would-be assassins around the world to discover the truth. Raucously funny and endlessly inventive, this Lecoq-trained theatre company delights and stuns with live music and virtuosic acrobatics.

About Voloz Collective.

VOLOZ COLLECTIVE is an award-winning international physical theatre company that reinvents and recharges physical comedy – exploiting the capacities of the human body and blurring the lines between the theatrical and cinematic.

Hailing from three different countries, the team of four was brought together by two years of study at L’École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq.

Voloz Collective has performed in France, England, and the United States, in diverse venues ranging from an organic farm in rural Vermont to London’s Pleasance Theatre. Voloz has been granted residencies at La Factorie in Normandy, France and at The Sable Project in Vermont, USA. Voloz Collective’s original theatrical short film, America, premiered off-broadway as part of Ars Nova’s ANT FEST. In February of 2022, Voloz toured The Man Who Thought He Knew Too Much to 17 different venues throughout England and Scotland, followed by an Off West end run at Omnibus Theatre. They received multiple five star reviews and an Off-West End Award nomination. Voloz will be performing as part of the Pleasance Futures season at the Edinburgh Fringe this August, and will also be performing the French premiere of The Man Who in January in Paris at Point Du Jour.
