Script Reading Workshops

​​

In our Script Reading Workshops, scripts range from full length plays and film scripts, to TV pilots, from new writers to established classics.

A wonderful opportunity to hone your skills in a no pressure environment. During workshops we dive deep into character and story. In a relaxed, focused environment, we read scripts, exploring the nuances of the dialogue, character motivations, and emotional beats. Actors will get constructive feedback on delivery, pacing, and interpretation, and be encouraged to experiment. These sessions are an opportunity to refine craft and fortify confidence, and ensure you're sharp and tuned for upcoming auditions, rehearsals and performances.

Self Tape Practise Workshop

​​

During our online group self-tape audition practice sessions, you'll be part of a supportive, collaborative and interactive environment. Each actor rehearses and records a self-tape, and receives valuable real-time feedback from both an acting coach. These session allow you to gain diverse perspectives on your performance, learn from others' approaches, and refine your technique in a constructive, encouraging atmosphere. The acting coach will guide the group, offer insights on how to enhance your self-taping, and facilitate a positive exchange of ideas. You will leave with enhanced self-tape skills, greater confidence, and a deeper connection with your practise.​​​
