This session will be led by Sophie Curtis, Associate Casting Director for Theatre by the Lake and Director Zoe Waterman.

Sophie has worked with the team at Theatre by the Lake to cast over 80 productions. She is also an Associate Agent at Esta Charkham Associates and a freelance Producer. Zoë is a freelance Director, and has directed plays in four Summer Seasons at Keswick. Zoë has also worked at other regional theatres including Nottingham Playhouse and the New Vic in Stoke-on- Trent.

This workshop is an opportunity to work on your audition technique for theatre and gain some honest feedback on your CV and headshot.

With budgets being cut there is an increased demand for actors to multi-role and the class will provide a rare opportunity to gain insights on auditioning for multiple parts from the perspective of a Casting Director and Director who have worked extensively in rep.

You will be asked to prepare to 'audition' for two contrasting parts in two very different plays.  A couple of days before the workshop you will be sent details of the plays and which roles have been selected for you to prepare. You will have the opportunity to work on sections of script and then receive honest feedback and guidance. The session will finish with a Q&A.
