✨ OPEN CALL FOR PERFORMERS ✨

⚡ Physical Communities & Theatre Biometrics · R&D · Sunday 31 May ⚡

LAMDA Virtual Production Studio · 10am – 4pm

Open call to London-based performers — we're opening a few slots of our Theatre Biometrics Project workshop on Sunday 31 May, 10am–4pm, at LAMDA's Virtual Production Studio.
- An interdisciplinary R&D session
- Chorus exercises. Smart biosensor technology
- The evolving nature of physical communities across time and media
- Rediscovered and empowered through neuro-inspired art-tech.

Led by art-tech director @anastasia_thiras and movement director @csilversteen.

What we're building: a project on live theatre's impact on the human experience — at the intersection of theatre, biometrics, neuroscience and AI, with an ethics roadmap embedded at the core. In partnership with @lamdadrama, @bada_online and Imperial College London — spanning a longer arc that deepens the bridge between theatre-making and the medical and wellness sectors.

Limited spots! Closing replies Friday 29 May.

DM @anastasia_thiras for info and applying 🎉

Production: @cherrynguava, @callumholtproducer, @carlygrace.h, @aishwarya_1_7, @vivek.prakash.suradkar, @nasiou

It was my honour and pleasure to facilitate two workshop sessions with the brilliant 3rd-year students at Italia Conti on Tuesday. Offering some of the core principles from my (re)search and journey as an independent artist and embodied movement practitioner. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you @csilversteen. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you to each and every one of you for your creative expression, generosity, and courage in trusting the Unknown and the process. Passionate and genuine souls practicing, pursuing, and discovering/uncovering magical truthful happenings in synchronicity. What a wonderful, inspiring and precious experience!!

Let’s keep striving!! 🦾🦾😇😇❤️❤️

Reflecting on MIO and we can’t get over all the inspiring voices that came to share with our participants. 👏🫶

The phenomenal Joe Mydell (MIO ‘84) kicked off MIO with a brilliant speech at our formal dinner, making another appearance to share his film on Ira Aldridge, The Black Tragedian.

We also had the fantastic Chris Sivertsen and Jon Boden lead our midsummer event in Bat Willow Meadow— thank you!

Additionally, we say a special thank you to Peter Kessler and Joe Wyver who introduced some amazing films to our students this summer!

BADA’s dean Ben Naylor, and talented faculty, Evelyn Miller, Tom McClane, Jonathan Broadbent, and Elliot Barnes-Worrell, took on the first masterclass: showcasing the professional scene rehearsal process!

BADA Alum Sideeq Heard (MIO ‘14) continued our brilliant lineup, sharing their experience as an American actor and director working in London— most recently directing the RSC’s Fat Ham.

The renowned Adjoa Andoh’s masterclass was truly inspiring as she performed Shakespeare scenes for our participants, providing insight not only on her own artistic interpretation but the history embedded in the works.

Adam Kantor, BADA alumn (MIO ‘06) and distinguished actor and singer, gave our students a stunning performance as well as sage advice on being an actor in musical theatre and broadway.

Finally, the outstanding Anne Bogart gave an unforgettable masterclass to our MIO participants, but also to our BADA studio members; discussing a wide range of topics including the differences between directing for theatre and for the opera, as well as the special connection between an actor and the audience!

MIO 2025 was truly an experience filled with exceptional teaching, insight, and learning from leading individuals in the theatre world today! ❤️

Christopher Sivertsen is one of our most influential mentors and friends.

His training has inspired us and many more to lead our creativity through authenticity and impulse and we couldn’t recommend this training more.

Cancel your plans and GO! Chris is inspiring honest and patient and calming and his practice has been honed from a life time of performance experience with the utmost respected companies and institutes around, so please check this out and learn more about the breathing performer technique.

You won’t regret it, and that is a Growth House pinky promise.

DGUGO!
