Production Info

For the first time, RMDC opens the doors to its unique creative methodology: a practice shaped over 30 years of interdisciplinary work, exploring movement, light and sound not as separate elements to be assembled, but as a unified atmospheric and dramaturgical language.

Participants work directly with Russell and Dana, exploring how atmospheric composition and sonic intent can shift the emotional and choreographic meaning of movement — working alongside a lighting technician to integrate theatre light as a creative tool from the very first moment of creation.

  • Direct mentorship from Dr Russell Maliphant OBE - Olivier Award winner, Associate Artist at Sadler's Wells, PhD researcher in anatomy and somatic practice;
  • Working sessions with Dana Fouras - composer, performer and long-term RMDC creative collaborator;
  • Masterclasses on how light, sound and movement operate as a single integrated creative language;
  • Studio-based creation sessions applying the knowledge gained;
  • Small cohort - maximum 15 participants - ensuring individual attention and genuine depth

The intensive take place at Studio 17, Excelsior Studios, 17–21 Sunbeam Road, London NW10 6JP. Applications to participate will be viewed online.
