Light And Shade – Misery and Laughter On Stage — Andrew Allen

In the first series of Acting Classes for 2012, Andrew Allen (who will be directing ‘Medea’ later in the year) will be exploring the roller-coaster of emotions and acting choices we can make as performers when creating a role. Using improvisation, script, and chorus work, the intention is to reveal the liberation we find when we discover that we don’t have to simply ‘read the words on the page’ … and that, sometimes, simply reading the words on the page is actually the best decision! Working as individuals, or within groups, you can come along to all four workshops or simply drop in to as little as you like …

6, 13, 20 and 27 February
Creative Play & Devised Theatre — Sarah Davies and Ulrike Schilling

Come and celebrate you're inner child. Through play, games, some basic clowning techniques we'll open up our imaginations and ability to play like no one is watching in a safe, supportive and fun-filled environment. Explore the unknown, not taking oneself seriously, develop confidence and humour to cheer up dreary Monday nights in February. Beat the recession with laughter.

5, 12, 19 and 26 March
STANISLAVSKI A Practical Approach — Steven O'Shea

Constantin Stanislavski’s status as the pre-eminent authority in the realm of drama teaching is unassailable. However Stanislavski was not an academic theorist ruminating on various abstract theories concerning the nature of performing. In addition to teaching and directing he was first and foremost an actor.
This is reflected in his writings concerning the approach to performing a role through an understanding of how to effectively analyse the action of a scene.
A straight-forward practical approach designed to fire the performer’s individual and creative imagination.

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.

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 find out more, come along to a class or rto equest more information about a particular block of sessions, please use our 'contact' webpage (see link on the left) or email ulrike.schilling@newventure.org.uk rather than the phone as we do not have the resources to manage the calls.

Hope to see you there!
