SOLD OUT - Session 2: Shakespeare with Damien Ryan - Sat 11 May

Explore a variety of approaches to script work – from the first read-through to working on character, blocking, rehearsal and performance.

This session will introduce participants to vocal technique, confidence and range, as well as basic accent training.

You will explore Lecoq exercises such as flocking, positions, the magic chair, the telephone, the 7 levels of tension and the elements. Participants will also work on storytelling through movement, devising from physical action and moving with intention.

SOLD OUT - Session 6: Creating Character with Charlie Garber - Sat 8 Jun

Learn how to create and embody an original, truthful and complex character through improvisation, movement and voice. You will also explore character through text – working on monologues from well-known plays to tease out, explore and establish character with a focus on physicalisation, voice, sub text and intention.

SOLD OUT - Session 7: Working with Directors with Anthony Skuse - Sat 15 Jun

The ability to take direction is a core skill of an actor. In this session participants will focus on how to respond to direction, making emotional and physical choices, processing and applying feedback to both audition pieces and scenes. Participants will explore the role of the Director from an actor’s perspective, and how to process and implement feedback and direction.

SOLD OUT - Session 8: Audition Techniques with Zoe Carides - Sat 22 Jun

This class will explore the process of auditioning – how to choose the correct pieces, how to ‘be yourself’ and make an impact. You will experience auditioning in a group situation, performing with integrity and creativity.
