About
Drama Studio Bordeaux seeks to bring the finest professional standard of theatre training to the cultural heart of the Aquitaine. With invited guest teachers from across Europe, from theatre, television & film, we will offer a range of training which will nurture the artist from novice to seasoned performer.
Founded in 2015 Drama Studio Bordeaux will open its doors with a series of one day workshops allowing beginners to experience and experiment in the space, led by Irish Director, actor and LeCoq graduate Conor IRWIN.
Though early workshops are taught through English, this is not essential to a students participation in any course. Translations & support can be offered but the primary focus is on the body.

"De 2003 à 2008, pendant l'entraînement en Irlande, puis assister à des programmes de troisième cycle à LISPA à Londres, mon objectif était créative en tant qu'interprète.
Mais tout au long de cette période, de renforcer toutes mes compétences comme un praticien du théâtre, je commençais à aimer le processus de mise en scène à travers l'élaboration et l'improvisation.
Entre 2007 et 2014, je suis chanceux d'avoir l'occasion de réaliser de théâtre et de concevoir des spectacles avec des artistes extrêmement divers et très talentueux de toute une gamme de milieux créateurs, du Cirque du Soleil à RADA.
Ce fut après cette période que je me suis déplacé dans ce que je décrirais comme collaborations plus ouvertes avec les praticiens du théâtre et écrivains professionnels de partout dans le monde." Conor Irwin 2015
