OUR CAMDEN (LONDON) PROJECT
Our Black Dog Theatre Creation has now teamed up with the West Euston Partnership and the Camden People's Theatre to offer a new project in Camden, London and we couldn't be anymore excited. Our group is open to adults suffering from poor confidence, self-esteem or isolation. We are now also welcoming family, friends or anyone who cares and supports those affected to join us to. We are a very friendly, supportive group who simply use performance skills to have fun and build our confidence.

Our Every picture tells a story Mini Project
We've recently been exploring how pictures can be used as a stimuli to inspire stories and performances. Below are some audio recordings which we made via Zoom of some of our stories:

Mask Making with Jacob Anderson
Over the past few weeks, we have teamed up with Artist and Theatre Designer Jacob Anderson to learn more about the Ancient Greek Theatre and Theatre Mask making. We started off by creating our own masks in the style of the Ancient Greek chorus. Once we’d got the hang of the basic techniques, we then designed and made our own character masks for the story of Theseus and the Minotaur.
We then put these masks into action by creating our very own performance on Zoom.
Here are some pictures of some of our finished masks!
We then recorded our very own performance on Zoom for fun!
