LOVE+ Community Theatre project in Soho & Chinatown
PERSONA COLLECTIVE is looking for performers from all ages to take part in their new Immersive Theatre production in Soho & Chinatown.
During 4 months, 25 participants will have the opportunity to co-create a theatre piece & a film with a diverse, intergenerational group. You will learn dance & acting techniques, develop improvisational skills to tell a story & build characters, practice creative writing and perform in front of an audience. The acting and movement exercises are designed for all types of bodies & disabilities.
The Live performance:
SITE-SPECIFIC, IMMERSIVE SHOW that will open in late March 2023 across multiple locations in SOHO & CHINATOWN.
The audience will find themselves stepping into an intimate journey across multiple secret locations throughout Soho & Chinatown; from a barbershop to a chapel, weaving through hidden passageways. They will be immersed in a multi-sensory experience, somewhere between fiction and reality. Each group of audience will be following one character’s story, whilst witnessing threads of multiple narratives throughout their journey. Audience members usually describe the experience as “being immersed inside of a film” or as “hyper-real, it was never clear whether something was reality or an artistic construct”.
Who is Persona Collective? Persona Collective is a multidisciplinary team of creatives from theatre, dance, design, architecture, film & education. We bring together community members and creative practitioners to perform immersive theatre in unexpected places throughout London.
Dates:
Performance+ workshops (training) will take place in a rehearsal space in Soho every Thursday from 19:00 – 22:00.
INTRODUCTORY WORKSHOP: 13th December 2022 (next training session will be from Thursday 5th of January 2023). 28/03/2023 to 16/04/2023 – Live Performance x 3 weeks (5 shows per week) 17/04/2023 to 20/04/2023 – Making the film of the show
How to take part:
You can send an email to rocio@personacollective.co.uk explaining who you are and why you want to take part in this project.
Or if you prefer you can call us to 07784470112 (Monday to Friday 9 to 5pm). Rocio will also be at the Lunch Club on Friday 2nd December from 11:30 to talk to members personally, if you have any questions.

And Finally…
If you need to contact me, please contact me only on this mobile number 07759 646507.
Please do not visit me at Dragon Hall. I work at different venues throughout the week and I might not be there.
It is essential that all events/workshops or classes are booked in advance. Dragon Hall is still following social distancing guidelines and most sessions are now fully booked. If you would like to attend an event, please ALWAYS contact me beforehand.
Please note that all payments for classes are paid online via our website. If you have any difficulty with this, I am happy to assist. But again, this must be done beforehand and booked with me.
Thank you for your support and cooperation.
