ITD also have experience in designing longer programmes tailored to an institution's or group's individual needs and resources. As experienced educators, ITD recognise the importance of critical reflection. The shared analysis of creative decision-making and aesthetic composition forms a backbone to all our work with young people.

We are currently offering the following series of workshops to schools, colleges and youth groups (ages 16-24).

This workshop introduces participants to the specific performance making approaches adopted by the company. Starting with an exploration of what constitutes realism in the theatre, this workshop explores different approaches that extend and challenge the realist model. It specifically explores notions of allegory, metaphor and myth as devices that can create new forms of realism in the theatre and engages with the potential of presentational styles of performance to provide a platform for more authentic ways to theatricalise experience. This workshop is specifically aimed at those studying theatre at schools and colleges or for young theatre groups.

This session focuses on time, memory and narrative in performance. It draws on screen (film, television and photography) techniques to encourage participants to explore the different ways that stories, the process of remembering and the concept of time can be used in the making of performance. Within the workshop participants work on their physical and choreographic skills and are introduced to making inventive use of space, while also developing their ability to manage the performance 'score' - its pacing and structure. The workshop will take an extraordinary event as its starting point, where the emphasis is on the reconstruction of time through the condensation and expansion of experience.

In line with our own creative and performance techniques, this workshop will introduce basic devising skills and give the students the opportunity to act in front of projected film images. The students will be asked to react to changing environments created with a back projection and sound environment.

imitating the dog make innovative use of digital media, design and physical performance to create off-kilter worlds - exploring themes such as identity, death, love and sexuality. This workshop gives students a first step into the implementation of our methods.

This will develop the themes of the shorter workshop above and students will also get the opportunity to perform in front of blue screen, experimenting with changing filmic backrounds and live image manipulation. The company will provide all the equipment needed to film, edit and project bluescreen video and will guide the students through the creation and use of this new media.

Our work is particularly concerned with using filmic landscapes within a theatrical setting and using the tools of video and projection to create fantastical worlds. This day-long workshop will provide the students with the tools and inspiration to engage with texts and technologies in a similar way.
