Please browse the rest of our site if you have the time and we will see you soon.

We are based in an old Victorian public house that opened in 1886 on the site of the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens; immortalised as the ‘Vanity Fair’ in Thackeray’s eponymous novel.

We serve some of the best loose leaf teas available, proper sandwiches and homemade cakes; not to mention the best full English breakfast in London. Our teas have individual subtle flavours which would be overpowered by the instant, coarse, hit of coffee, so we do not sell it.

We make our own marmalade and jams, all for sale by the jar and all our teas can be bought by the ounce online (to view our range click here). Our meat comes from our local butcher and our fruit and vegetables from the local market gardens around us.

We are trying to be different. We will not hurry you. If you visit us on your lunch break, then have one, you will be more productive in the afternoon. If you want to have a meeting, we will not disturb you. If you are ‘working from home’, we have wifi. If you have children, we have highchairs, a chest of toys, and milkshakes. We always have the daily papers, so please, relax, and share in what we are trying to create, take a load off, and have a cuppa.

Monday Theatre School Term 3

ALL LEVELS WELCOME.
No experience needed.

A course of three acting workshops with director Dimitry Devdariani at the Tea House Theatre. The workshops will consist of three sessions.

Session 1

What is emotion? What kind of emotions do we know? Positive and negative emotions. Emotions in real life and on stage; what's the difference? How emotional expression in theatre differs from that in other art forms? Truthful portrayal of emotions on stage and how to achieve it? Human emotions as painter's palette.

Session 2

Practical exercises on emotional expression: laughter (different types of), crying (with different motivations), love (various types of), hate, fear, envy, happiness, joy, sadness, etc. How do we achieve truthfulness of emotional expression on stage? Emotional recall, as actor's technique. Imagination and what role it plays in the artistic portrayal of human emotion. Emotional triggers.

Session 3

Naturalistic and stylized portrayal of emotions on stage. How to remain truthful while portraying emotions in an abstract of stylized way (traditional forms of theatre and mime as an example). Portraying emotions while using only voice and then only movement. Portraying emotions while using both, voice and body, achieving harmony between the two.

Mondays 8th, 15th and 22nd November 2021.
Classes will be held from 7pm.
LIMITED spaces.

This masterclass will explore various improvisation techniques, acting exercises, voice and work with dramatic text.

Participants will be invited to work with well-known texts of established playwrights, as well as create their own and use them for acting exercises.
Speech and movement elements will be equally present in the workshop program.
In addition to the above, we promise a lot of FUN, as theatre first and foremost is a game and we understand that.
