THEATRE WOOFING

Canole Theatre is a new theatre space in  French Dordogne  near Monpazier. We run trainings in Theatre/Clowning & Improvisation and aim to bring shows and cultural activities in  both French and English in this region  that is home to a lot of British and Dutch people as well. This space is big and wild and we wish to create a community of artists we could welcome and support in their creation process who'd be keen to help us restore and embellish this place.

We have 1 new spot available:

SEPTEMBER 2024: 2nd-9th

What we offer

1 week free accomodation for  up to 6 people in these wooden chalets

Who are we looking for

- Theatre makers, puppeteers, clowns, improvisers who need a rehearsal/R&D  space AND who like gardening  (mowing the lawn, cutting bamboo roots, cleaning the river from branches & leaves etc) or restoring work (mainly protecting chalets & outdoor wooden furniture with oil.)

- Artists who are happy to share their work at the end of their residency week. We don't expect a finished show but one of our  aim being to develop a cultural activity in the region, we wish  to open our doors to our creative explorations.

- The deal is relatively flexible schedule wise but the idea, just like when Woofing, is that you would help us in the mornings and then could use the  space as you wish in the afternoons and evenings. Food isn't included (Except for the welcome meal) but we will arrange your transport to and from Bergerac airport or train station.
