National Theatre at Regent’s Place

We’re delighted to announce the launch of an incredible partnership between British Land and the National Theatre, which will see unique creative events and experiences taking place at Regent’s Place over the coming year. 

Open to everyone on campus, the events are designed to boost your wellbeing, support your return to campus and encourage collaboration and creativity. We will be running monthly workshops led by creative experts, focusing on skills used by theatrical professionals in the rehearsal room and explore how these can be applied to enhance the working day; inclusive of movement, posture, presence and speech and language techniques.

Separate theatre techniques sessions will see creative experts from the National Theatre demonstrate skills such as Special Effects and Prosthetics in Theatre, inviting you to ‘look behind the curtain’ and gain unique creative insight into how the magic of theatre comes to life.
