FROM FRAGMENTS INTO FORM
what theatre do you want to make?
Monday 13 – Friday 17 July 2026
with Rachel Karafistan
As part of ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL OF THEATRE – TEATR ÓSMEGO DNIA, Poznań

FROM FRAGMENTS INTO FORM is an intensive for those who wish to unearth the stories that live beneath the surface, through the body, through voice and through the shared pulse of creativity. Guided by exercises that awaken both the physical and the poetic self, we’ll trace imagined journeys, inhabit forgotten spaces, and give form to the fragments that call for expression. Together, we’ll ask: What makes a beginning sing? What truth waits at the end? What lives and breathes in the middle ground between them?
Under the guidance of Rachel Karafistan, an award-winning director, performer and teacher with over 35 years of professional experience in creating original theatre for the stage, this workshop invites you to make, to fail, to find and to celebrate each moment of discovery. From raw impulse to crafted scene, from private vision to shared performance, we’ll explore how ideas become theatre. How does a piece speak to its audience or community? How do we listen, as performer, as director, for what the work itself wants to become?
Through improvisation, play, and reflection, we’ll uncover new ways of shaping material, reimagining stories, and working with others with curiosity and care.

Cost: 250EUR - discounts for people from Poznań available 🙏🏼
Also – If you have been taught by Rachel previously, anywhere in the world you will automatically receive a 10% discount of any course.

RECLAIMING VOICE:
Voice, Song and Embodied Expression
Monday 20 – Friday 24 July 2026
with Patrick Campbell & Rachel Karafistan
As part of ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL OF THEATRE – TEATR ÓSMEGO DNIA, Poznań

Join Patrick Campbell, co-author (with Margaret Pikes) of Owning Our Voices: Vocal Discovery in the Wolfsohn-Hart Tradition, and Rachel Karafistan, theatre-maker and passionate voice facilitator trained by Frankie Armstrong, for a dive into the expressive landscape of your voice.
Rooted in the Wolfsohn-Hart approach to extended voice and the philosophy and principles of the Natural Voice Network, this practical and experiential workshop explores the full spectrum of human sound, from pre-verbal sounding to song, through movement, breath, and embodied imagination.
We will work with the Vocal Sources, psychosomatic centres along the spine, awakening different vocal timbres and resonances through focused exploration. Participants will engage with creative vocal stimuli, designed to spark authentic vocal expression and free the natural voice.

This workshop is open to all levels of experience, though familiarity with theatre, dance, or singing will be helpful.We are all born with open, expressive voices, but over time, life shapes, stifles, or scatters them. To reclaim the voice is to reclaim power. This workshop invites you to listen inwardly, act authentically, and uncover the sounds and songs that live inside you. Whether you’re a performer, artist, educator, or simply curious, come prepared to move, sound, and sing!

Cost: 250EUR - discounts for people from Poznań available 🙏🏼

Includes free entrance to Patrick’s workshop demonstration THE AFFECTIVE DRAMATURGY OF THE VOICE on Sunday 19 July 2026 at 17:00

Thank you to the incredible team at the ‘F**k the Patriarchy’ festival at Ballhaus Prinzenallee for making us so welcome this Friday.
Always such a blast to play in Berlin. Thank you also to our beautiful and generous audience who donated 145 EUR for the important work of Ciocia Basia

We are thrilled to have been invited to play our theatrical feminist riot, HEARTBURN at the F*ck the Patriarchy Festival – Feminist Futures, Forgotten Histories, at Ballhaus Prinzenallee in Wedding, Berlin on 6th March for International Women’s Day. We can’t quite believe that the situation for women globally has deteriorated in quite the dramatic way it has since we created this show five years ago – but here we are.

It’s the only time we will be playing HEARTBURN in Berlin this year, so tell your friends and come and make noise for women’s rights.

Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to reclaim your voice ❤️

RECLAIMING VOICE:
Voice, Song and Embodied Expression
Monday 20 – Friday 24 July 2026
10:00 – 18:00 with two hours for one-to-one work at the end of each day
with Patrick Campbell & Rachel Karafistan
As part of ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL OF THEATRE – TEATR ÓSMEGO DNIA, Poznań

Join Patrick Campbell, co-author (with Margaret Pikes) of Owning Our Voices: Vocal Discovery in the Wolfsohn-Hart Tradition, and Rachel Karafistan, theatre-maker and passionate voice facilitator trained by Frankie Armstrong, for a dive into the expressive landscape of your voice.
Rooted in the Wolfsohn-Hart approach to extended voice and the philosophy and principles of the Natural Voice Network, this practical and experiential workshop explores the full spectrum of human sound, from pre-verbal sounding to song, through movement, breath, and embodied imagination.
We will work with the Vocal Sources, psychosomatic centres along the spine, awakening different vocal timbres and resonances through focused exploration. Participants will engage with creative vocal stimuli, designed to spark authentic vocal expression and free the natural voice.

You will:
- Reconnect breath, body, and voice in a grounded and playful way
- Move from pre-verbal sound into rich vocal textures, text, and song
- Develop confidence in your own vocality, its power, nuance, and emotional truth
- Discover where the rhythms of the body meet the rhythms of voice
- Explore collective sounding and the liberating possibilities of vocal improvisation

We are all born with open, expressive voices, but over time, life shapes, stifles, or scatters them. To reclaim the voice is to reclaim power. This workshop invites you to listen inwardly, act authentically, and uncover the sounds and songs that live inside you. This workshop is open to all levels of experience, though familiarity with theatre, dance, or singing will be helpful.
