Workshop Syllabus:

13 Sep - Getting to know you.


A fresh beginning to a fresh new term! An excellent introduction to TheatreWorkshops style of teaching and the class in general We’ll take a look at stagecraft and the bare necessities of presenting your work.

20th September - Part of the Picture


Activites centred around working collaboratively. Learning the benefits of acting as an ensemble and looking at the role of a chorus in storytelling. Working onstage and on film is all about telling a story together and achieving this can be a great asset. It can bring with it fantastic rewards to those watching and those involved.

27th September - Addressing a text

Lines on the page only come alive when the actor knows how to read them and most importantly how to listen to them. Using classic and contempory works this class will focus one your understanding that drama is about conversations and the exchanges that aren’t always in the dialogue.
