Welcome to the FRANTIC ASSEMBLY WORKSHOPS at Trinity College Dublin! Join us on either 07 March 2025 or 08 March 2025, starting at 9:00 AM for an exciting day of creativity and movement. With more than 30 years’ experience, Frantic Assembly has developed into one of the UK's most successful and best loved theatre companies. Fiercely committed to inclusive and collaborative practice, Frantic Assembly is about telling stories to empower and connect. This subsidised in-person event will take place at the School of Education Trinity College Dublin, where you'll have the opportunity to learn cutting-edge physical theatre techniques, engage in interdisciplinary collaboration and network with teachers, creatives and researchers from diverse fields.
We are thrilled to welcome the incredible Steve Kirkham to Dublin to lead the workshops on both days. Steve works in all forms of movement and choreography for film, television and theatre, and teaches nationally and internationally for Frantic Assembly.

He was associate movement coach on the film World War Z, the BBC series His Dark Materials and Pilgrim for Lucasfilm. He was the choreographer for Love's Labour’s Lost and The Wedding Singer (Royal Academy of Music) and Betty Blue Eyes, Sweeney Todd, Made in Dagenham, Into The Woods, Dogfight and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (Mountview), as well as movement associate on Goldfrapp's Supernature Tour.
