Creating Stories for the Stage — Andrew Allen
After improvisation, we can devise. Taking various sources for our inspiration - newspapers, magazines, and even objects from our homes, we will look at creating a story from initial idea to script and performance.
We will workshop ideas and possibilties to perform short performances pieces, in which workshop members can be as involved or not as they feel comfortable: as performer, writer, director or facilitator.
Andrew teaches improv and theatre workshops in Brighton. He has run improvisation workshops at the NVT, and been involved in the improv one-off performances here. He played Yvan in "Art", and has also been a director, deviser, actor and writer.

Stage Presence -— Rikki Tarascas
An eclectic and energetic workshop that will look at the presence of the performer exploring what it is that makes a person watchable.
The workshops will examine how stage presence and the dynamics of play between actors can contribute to a vibrant ensemble, and how rhythm can be used to surprise and to create dramatic and comic moments.
As part of the process we will work with improvisation and techniques used in screen writing to create dramatic narratives.
We will work towards the performance of a series of themed final dramatic scenes, which will be performed at the Social on 29th May.
Rikki Tarascas has taught both full- and part-time across arts disciplines and directed productions for a number of drama schools. He taught both stage and screen acting for Italia Conti Theatre Academy using the Stanislavskian method as a foundation, and Mountview Theatre Academy, where he taught screen acting and co-produced two summer schools, introducing outside professionals to shoot a number of short student films.
