Blue Elephant Theatre Update
We are delighted to be getting back to a more 'normal' way of working. Our youth theatres are back holding in person sessions and we are hosting rehearsals and other creative activities. We will hold performances again once ventilation works are carried out in our space.
We're very grateful to have had such interest in the two vacancies we advertised recently. All applicants have now been emailed about the outcome of their application. We are aware, however, that some of our emails aren't received or are sent to spam by email providers like hotmail so you are welcome to call us on 02077010100 if you have not received an email.
Our Writers Group will continue to run virtually, meeting every two weeks on a Tuesday. The next meet-up is on Tuesday 22nd June and you can find out more here.
Our Artist Network has launched, a new resource for opportunities for emerging artists. More information here.

Next show: Day-long Training Workshop with Theatre Re
Come and get your Theatre Re fix!
In this practical workshop Guillaume Pigé (Theatre Re Director and RADA Associate Teacher) will provide an introduction to the company’s training and creative process, as well as how we collaborate with performers to devise Theatre Re’s work. Punctuated by games, ensemble work, technique, repertoire and improvisation, this workshop will support professional, semi-professional, recent graduates and performers-in-training in developing their skills and creativity in an open, playful and generous environment.
Everyone is welcome and no previous experience of Corporeal Mime is required to join, only your professionalism, curiosity and playfulness.

About Theatre Re:
“Theatre Re excels at transforming small, intimate stories into whirling, viscerally physical extravagance.” What’s On Stage
Established as a professional ensemble in 2011, Theatre Re is one of the UK’s leading visual theatre companies. It has garnered a national and international reputation for creating world-class, deeply moving, and visually striking poetic theatre.
The company’s name comes from the prefix re and symbolises its guiding principles: to rediscover, to reinvent and to reveal. Rooted in Etienne Decroux's Corporeal Mime, productions use movement, music and design to tell stories. Our work crosses disciplines, with past projects taking inspiration from science, philosophy, psychology, public health and education to address global human challenges, bring people together and develop empathy with strength and delicacy. Collaborations with community organisations throughout the creation process are central to the company’s work.
The company is led by artistic director Guillaume Pigé with Alex Judd, Katherine Graham and Eygló Belafonte as associate artists. They are supported by a core group of long-standing collaborators.
Theatre Re is currently an @Home company at The Point, Eastleigh (until 2022) and has previously been an associate company at South Hill Park in Bracknell and Greenwich Theatre.
