Use of Sound in Theatre — workshop
Sat 18 Feb, 11am - 4pm
Theatre maker and director of live literature shows, Mark Hewitt, presents a one day workshop exploring the use of recorded sound and text. The session will be practical, and explorative and will allow participants to experiment with creating sound material that can be quickly manipulated on a laptop and used within the context of a production. The day is open to technicians, actors, directors, designers and writers who can all have an opportunity to contribute to the working process. The day will feature extracts from a new work in progress, Altered Egos by writer Bernadette Cremin, to show how simple techniques can be applied to great effect.
Bring written or found text, unusual music and sound effects, recordings, your own voice and your creativity. If you have any digital recording equipment feel free to bring it along.

An Actors Journey - 6 week course — James Newton
Sundays 7pm -9:30pm
19, 26 February, 4, 11, 18 and 25 March
Using a very simple and effective process of units, objectives and actions we will create some powerful, truthful drama which will culminate in a performance at the NVT on Saturday 14th April 2012.
Over a period of 6 weeks we will break-down the script into units and establish clear objectives and actions for the characters in the play. This is the same rehearsal process you will find up and down the country at professional theatres such as The Royal Court, Manchester Royal Exchange and the RSC.
Our work will be a series of scenes from a variety of playwrights and everyone taking part will be expected to perform on the date of the show.
The classes will be undertaken by James Newton (All My Sons, Breaking The Code, American Buffalo at NVT). James trained at The Royal Scottish Academy of Music & Drama and worked as an actor in TV, film and theatre for over 10 years. He now works as a full time director and writer.
Costs: £50 Non-Members / £35 Members
Limited spaces available, please book online or email ulrike.schilling@newventure.org.uk
