Skills and technique session for actors – an open space for actors to share techniques and explore performance practice in a fortnightly 2 hour workshop.

The content of these sessions will be up to those that attend and be a free flowing workshop space for actors to explore what they wish:
• Techniques and /or theory they wish to explore
• Scripts or text from established authors
• New writing or devised ideas
• Acting skills such as accents, physical theatre, audition practice etc.

Each 2 hour session will have the basic shape as follows:

0-20 min Group warm-up
20-1h20. Exploration - Actors share what they have brought to explore and actors split into groups, pairs etc.
1h20-2h. Share and review - Actors share their work back to the group.

Initial session in mid Feb (date tbc) will be an exploration of text from Harold Guskin’s ‘Taking it off the page’ exercises. From then on sessions will be led by the group rather than dictated by any one person, with members encouraged to bring what they wish to explore to the session.
