We start the journey into the training. 'Climbing The Mountain: A Performer's Journey Into Presence' is 30 short talks that take you through a six week ensemble performance training programme. Based on actual talks given during an MA training programme devised and delivered by the Author, John Britton, step-by-step they guide you to increasingly sophisticated understandings of how to be a performer. This week we are at the start of the Journey. The training ensemble meets for the first time and so it begins. Welcome to Days One and Two of 'Climbing The Mountain'.
