Are you reaching your creative potential? In this two day workshop members will work with the acclaimed Artistic Director Polly Teale to explore how as actors, and as human beings, we are driven by powerful needs and unconscious obstacles. Working both with character and ourselves we will explore our fears and desires.

On the second day we will focus on blockages and resistances that we all experience and that can surface in auditions, in the rehearsal room and in performance - preventing us being able to reach our full potential.  

Be prepared to move, discover more about yourself and arm yourself with tools to unlock your creativity.
