I loved the symbolism; when he first come on stage talking about Jesus, I wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy it, but as the play unravelled I felt a rollercoaster of feelings and many ideas that captivated my interest. The Brecht techniques were pulling me in and out.

- Devise through improvisation
- Create using core Lecoq principles of movement & collaboration
- Cooperate effectively to produce work with their peers
