Body Awareness — Ulrike Schilling

During this session we will work with the body as a tool in performance. Through a variety of hands on exercises we will explore our physicality and redefine our approach to our bodies.

11th, 18th, 25th October and 1st November
Creation and Development of Character and Plot through Improvisation –- Steve Coulson

______________________________________________

8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th November and 6th December
Characterisation and Text into Performance - Becoming an exquisite actor in five easy sessions —- Mark Wilson

This set of five sessions will take participants through the processes of communicating a character’s situation to an audience, both physically and vocally, by looking at ‘story’ and how the writer’s story might then be told by actors.
Each class will be run in a way that fits all levels of experience and as a discrete unit – perfect for those able to attend all or just one or two of the sessions. You will be working on your own and in small groups. There will be opportunities to present work and gain feedback on performance but there will be no pressure to perform – process being more important than product. The intention is that it should be a learning, skills-based process, ideal for the ‘beginner’ as well as those with more experience. It is my intention that all of us shall leave the session with more than we came in with.

13th and 20th December
Objectives, Beats, Actioning — James Newton

______________________________________________

Forthcoming sessions:

10th, 17th, 24th and 31st January

Anyone can attend the acting class; you do not need to have any experience. Attending the acting class is the best way to get involved with what we do and find out about auditions.

The bar will be open after some classes and we encourage all our members as well as those who want to get involved in the theatre in any way to come along.

Classes start at 7.30 and end at 9.30. Please arrive in good time to begin promptly at 7.30.

To request more information, please use our 'contact' webpage (see link on the left) rather than the phone as we do not have the resources to manage the calls.

Hope to see you there!
