Hi there ✨
Whoever you are, you’re warmly invited to join us for a full-day writing workshop exploring the themes of Love & Desire on Saturday 27th June in Old Street, London 📍
We’ll spend the day reading excerpts and poems about love and desire, then writing to prompts, with food & drink, space to think, and time to write something honest, strange, or quietly intense ☕🍷
Together, we’ll be exploring love in a variety of forms: tenderness, lust, queer desire, and heartbreak 💌
We’ll be drawing inspiration from poets such as Sappho, Audre Lorde, Pablo Neruda, Adrienne Rich, John Donne, Ocean Vuong, Carol Ann Duffy, Natalie Diaz, and Richard Siken 📚
Alongside short readings and extracts, we’ll be writing throughout the day using guided prompts and exercises 🌿
**What do we mean by Love & Desire?**
Tenderness: affection, intimacy, and the quiet ways love shows up in everyday life 🤍
Desire: attraction, lust, obsession, and the intensity of wanting or being wanted 🔥
Heartbreak: endings, longing, memory, and what lingers after love changes shape 🌙
We’ll move through these themes using poems as sparks rather than rules, letting language unfold naturally 🌀
**So, what’s the plan? 🗓️**
* Arrive at the venue for tea or coffee and a gentle warm-up writing session ☕
* Settle into reading, conversation, supported exploration, and lots of writing ✍️
* Break for lunch together nearby 🥗

We create a friendly, inclusive, and supportive atmosphere, and everyone is welcome 💜

Saturday Acting Workshop - CORIOLANUS
Following our critically acclaimed productions of OTHELLO, MACBETH and TWELFTH NIGHT the Acting gymnasium's Saturday workshop returns to Theatre Deli on Saturday 28th March with a new imagining of Shakepeare's CORIOLANUS. Plenty of superb roles available!!
Set in a post-apocalyptic landscape, Coriolanus, a fierce and proud Roman general, earns fame after defeating Rome’s enemies, especially at Corioli. Despite his military success, he despises the common people and refuses to flatter them for political gain. Urged to seek public office, his arrogance alienates citizens, leading to his banishment. In anger, he allies with his former enemy Aufidius and marches against Rome. As destruction looms, his mother, Volumnia, pleads with him to spare the city. Moved by her words, he relents, choosing honor over revenge. His decision saves Rome but seals his fate, as he is killed for betraying his allies in return.
[Email:actinggymnasium@gmail.com](mailto:Email%3Aactinggymnasium@gmail.com) \- if you'd like to get involved\.
1 DAY Film-jam No.126
This event will be for people to meet, go off and film, come back and enjoy the results. Whatever you want to do, be it film, act, direct or even just sort of hang around at the back then this is the event for you!
MEET AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE NATIONAL THEATRE.
If you are wondering what this group can provide for you, it’s above all else friendship with other like minded people, whether you are a screenwriter, director, cameraperson, actor etc etc.
With that in mind, on Saturday we will do the following:
1. We’ll meet at the National Theatre on Southbank.
2. We’ll split into two groups (or more if needed)
3. Each team will try and beat the other teams to a pub in EC1 in London and edit (maybe) the film.
BUT
4. Each team must make a 2 minute 30 seconds film on the way with a beginning middle and end, a solid story arc for the main character, etc.
Remember to bring:
1. You and your enthusiasm
2. A camera (iPhones dslrs whatever)
3. Someone willing to do an edit after we arrive back at the on their computers
All teams will then meet-up at a pub in EC1 and watch what we have filmed, happy with what they have learnt!
The first team that finishes gets a Small Prize!
Hopefully then, you will stick around to have a great time chatting about film, meeting new people, and forgetting about work until the late hours.
Look forward to seeing you there!
If there are no more places available on meetup then MORE tickets available on eventbrite:

BUZZ & ACCLAIM: A huge box office hit at the time of its release, PRETTY WOMAN has since gone on to become a modern-day classic! The film catapulted Julia Roberts to superstardom and earned her a Golden Globe for Best Actress and her first Oscar nomination! Critics praise Julia Roberts’ star-making performance, the undeniable chemistry between her and Richard Gere, and its warm, funny feel-good story about kindness, self-worth and transformation! The film’s “intelligence and wit,” “first-class performances” and “sharp, funny script” have made Pretty Woman a classic and truly “something special!”
