Not Theatre Workshops with Anton Bonnici

Spin Cycle is bringing a series of “Not Theatre” workshops to the Fondation des États Unis, where we will be combining a communal staged reading with conversation, dramatic exploration, and opportunities for participants to step into the world of this play.

Led by Anton Bonnici, a teacher, playwright, and dramaturg with more than twenty years of international classroom experience. His work brings together drama, literature, creative writing, and performance-based learning. He is also the creator of Performative Complex Realism, an educational and creative framework concerned with character-driven stories and the social worlds that shape them.

Through workshops, staged readings, and collaborative exercises, he encourages participants to approach drama as a living encounter, a practice he calls Not Theatre: a way of exploring ideas, testing interpretations, entering other perspectives, and discovering what becomes possible when a group gathers around a play where community and understanding surpass aesthetic concerns.
