Lost Dog Residencies

Lost Dog offer company residencies each year, based at the idyllic Laughton Lodge near Lewes, a tranquil and inspiring space in the East Sussex countryside, where participants are invited to stay for the duration of the residency.

The residency includes a daily class followed by creative sessions with Ben Duke or other Lost Dog associate artists.

Sessions will explore the use of voice in generating movement; play in rehearsal and performance; spontaneity; managing uncertainty; storytelling as a tool for generating movement; and the relationship between audience and performer.

What People Are Saying…

“It was honestly one of the best workshop residencies I have ever taken part in. Every part was well thought out, the environment was so welcoming and the people really made it, both company and participants”

“Safe space to share & create with great warmth & openness. It's amazing how the workshops worked for everyone and we were so different - different backgrounds & how we could create together without judgment. Pippa & Ben are facilitators that every performer, creator, student should meet one day! Thank you so much!”

“Ben facilitated an extremely supportive atmosphere to explore and share, despite some exercises being out of my comfort zone. I felt he was very generous with offering his practice and methods out to us, open the doors and allowing us to get an insight into his studio process. It was a pretty perfect weekend!”
