Oxford Brookes University Drama Studio map
Headington Hill Campus
Headington Hill, Oxford
Cost: FREE
Time: 8:00pm

Directions... map
...from central Oxford, follow High Street over the river to the roundabout at The Plain, take first exit (St Clements) and continue past traffic lights and straight on up Headington Hill, past the park, and then take the first driveway to the left near the top of the hill. Go past the gatehouse and take the 2nd turning on the right. The Drama Studio is a smallish, squarish building with railings outside the door, set back from the main driveway. Last time I checked, parking was still unrestricted on Saturday evenings.

...from London, buses go every ten minutes and run all night. Catch either the Oxford Tube, or the Oxford Express, then ask the driver to drop you at the stop called 'Gyspy Lane' or 'Brookes University'. Get off the bus and CROSS THE ROAD. There are two campuses, and the one you want is the less obvious one, a few metres further down the hill and on the other side of the road.

****************************************
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE ENTRANCE DOOR OPENS DIRECTLY ONTO THE STAGE. If you are so late that the programme has already begun, there is no way to let you in without disrupting the performance. If there is an opportunity between pieces the door will be opened to check for latecomers, but PLEASE DO NOT KNOCK UNLESS AN INTERVAL IS CLEARLY IN PROGRESS!

Workshop with Yael Karavan

£60. Venue (in Oxford) to be confirmed...

Yael routinely manages to get performers to go beyond what they had thought themselves capable of, assisting them to generate authentic performance material from their own inner resources. A remarkable teacher. This is the third workshop of Yael's that Cafe Reason has hosted in as many years. Very highly recommended. Participants often find that Yael's interventions will 'unblock' their creativity and launch them on a new and fruitful phase in their lives as artists. Although Yael does have a significant background in butoh her work is more geared towards physical theatre.

Yael has been invited primarily for the benefit of Cafe Reason members but there is also a limited number of places available to anyone else who would like to take part. Suitable for those with a background in dance, choreography, theatre and so on. Please contact Ana Barbour for more details.
