Decision Thinking Accelerator 2023

Image
Human beings make more than 12,775,000 decisions per year in every area of life - the problem is nearly all of these decisions are reactive and unconscious, and more than a fifth of them end up being regretted. Organisationally, poor decision-making impacts all aspects. Stakeholders become disenfranchised, time and money is wasted, and change occurs as a threat to be resisted. Historically, effective decision-making has been considered an inherent personality trait of leadership, or something overly complex, and filled with data. But it's not - decision making is learnt. The Decision Thinking Accelerator is a 90-minute, interactive virtual session, during which participants will: Learn the four Decision Thinking Principles that will instantly improve the results of both personal and professional decisions Self assess decision-making strengths and weaknesses, and how to address them Identify common pitfalls of default, reactionary decision-making that cause buyer's remorse and r

Venus and Adonis 2023

Image
Following its critically acclaimed cinematic debut in 2020, Sport for Jove and Seymour Centre will present the world premiere of Damien Ryan's new play Venus and Adonis, reframing the extraordinary vision of Shakespeare's most important work of poetry, on at the Seymour Centre from the 29 September to 21 October. It's 1593. The plague has hit London. Theatres are closed, players out of work, houses bolted, people terrified by the touch of another's skin, the breath of another's air. Shakespeare, syphilitic and dangerously bored, publishes a scandalous response to the pestilence - an epic work about the very things lost to us, like intimacy, identity, and the erotic freedom of touch. The brainchild of writer and director Damien Ryan, Venus and Adonis 'bends history' (SMH) and follows the story of Shakespeare's most significant rival and rumoured mistress, Aemilia Lanyer. Cast as a 'libidinous Venus' in Ryan's play within a play, Lanyer'

Shadow Boxing 2023

Image
Shadow Boxing by James Gaddas is a challenging solo work that explores masculinities, sexuality, violence, and identity. It looks at how human beings create their own fights, both inside and outside of the ring. We meet Flynn late one night after he has made the courageous decision to come out of the shadows. With minimal props and set performer Samuel Addison shows us what brought him to this decision and we witness its aftermath.

Feet First Collective is known for its larger scale immersive works Frankenstein, S-27 and MEDUSA .

It offers the opportunity for the company's theatrically bold and physically inventive style
