The Werkhouse Weekend

Following the success of the first werkhouse weekend in 2017, we’re back again this year. This time our weekend workshop is for 2nd year university students, so they can take their experience of Werkhouse into their final year of study. Once again, we’ll be at Taxi Studio, with some of the region’s most respected design industry professionals.

It’ll be a challenge — a deep dive into the creative and interpersonal skills you need to succeed in a design studio. We’ll show you how we rapidly develop concepts for clients and help you to sell your ideas. We’ll do this with a project scenario, five teams and some real pressure – to better prepare you for what design businesses need. Applications are open (deadline 30th April).

Participants work in teams, each led by a designer. Senior professionals rotate throughout to provide their input and ensure that all participants get time with everybody involved. Day 1 is about exploring the client situation and generating ideas within teams. Day 2 is about filtering, visualising and then sharing team ideas with the whole group. Participants share ideas, process and thinking. They do not create finished designs or make formal pitches. The expectation is that everyone contributes and collaborates, shares ideas and listens to others. Ask lots of questions, feel free to challenge, learn from each other and have fun.

For more information: Booklet About the Weekend

Werkhouse Website: www.werkhouse.co.uk

To apply, please fill out this short form. It takes place from 8.30am to 6pm on Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th June 2018 at Taxi Studio in Bristol. The deadline for applications is Monday 30th April 2018.

 

Mayfest 2018

Mayfest is Bristol’s unique international festival of contemporary theatre, dedicated to presenting a broad range of unusual, playful and ambitious work from leading theatre makers from Bristol, the UK and beyond.

“A mix of work so tasty it makes you want to up sticks and move to Bristol permanently.” The Guardian

Mayfest is produced by MAYK, in partnership with arts organisations across Bristol. From pubs and clubs to community centres and libraries, from theatres and galleries to streets and woods; the city is a playground.

Through Mayfest we have built collaborative relationships with nearly every arts organisation in the city, from Bristol Old Vic to Tobacco Factory Theatres, from Arnolfini to the Cube, from Trinity to Circomedia.

Each festival we invite the most extraordinary theatre artists we can find into the city for an explosion of culture. Our programme emerges from conversations with artists and producers, from months travelling the world to find the best new theatre and performance, from collaborations with organisations locally and nationally.

Mayfest is MAYK’s gift to the people of Bristol – a feast of performance for a diverse, multi-cultural city – things we know you’ll love, things we hope you’ll love, things we know you’ll be challenged by, things we think you’ll never forget.

Mayfest’s Artistic Directors are Matthew Austin and Kate Yedigaroff.
