Horizontal

Practices

London Performance Studios recognises the importance of removing hierarchy within educational structures. In response to this we launched Horizontal Practices, a programme designed to help talented practitioners develop their facilitation skills, test new ideas and deliver a course of 4 workshops.

In 2023, we hosted 7 practitioners delivering 28 workshops which were attended by over 300 participants. We offered facilitators 20 hours of space over 4 weeks for them to prepare, deliver, and reflect on their new workshop ideas.

This year we are expanding the initiative and offering:

  1. A two-day facilitation course led by Liv Ello for all selected practitioners

  2. An interview and promotional trailer to highlight and publicise your workshop

  3. Professional documentation of your workshop's proceedings


Who is it for?

The program is for practitioners who wish to develop their facilitating practice and explore new workshop ideas.

Application

Applications for 2024 are open from 8th January - 28th January.

Access

We have three fully accessible spaces on site. All our Horizontal Practice workshops will take place in one of our ground-floor studios.

Output

Each practitioner will have an opportunity to deliver a series of weekly workshops across 4 weeks. With a capacity of hosting 15-20 attendees for each workshop, the tickets will be priced at £10 - £15 depending on the length of the workshop. The first £200 of ticket sales will go to LPS towards the cost of the workshop and the rest will be paid to the practitioner.
