EDUCATION
Out of Joint offers a programme of workshops and discussions for groups coming to see our performances, as well writing courses and resource packs.
Since 2012, Out of Joint has run an Associate University Programme to build and strengthen our relationship with universities by providing opportunities to collaborate, learn and develop new work.
For instance, research and development work with Hertfordshire University led to the development of a new Rebecca Lenkiewicz play about witch trials in rural Hertfordshire, which will be toured nationally by Out of Joint. Current Associate Universities are the universities of Essex, Hertfordshire, Hull, Lincoln and Warwick.
If you are interested in Out of Joint’s education offering, including the Associate University Programme, please contact Isabel Quinzaños our Education Administrator.
