Time: 18.30 - 21.30

Vicky is a freelance Casting Director and has recently cast at the Royal Exchange, Nottingham Playhouse and Sheffield Crucible.

The session will begin with a very brief introduction by Vicky, before moving straight into the practical section of the workshop. Vicky will be sent your Spotlight CV before the session and will select and send out text from a play she has previously cast for you to prepare (you don’t have to be off-book, just be familiar and comfortable with the material). You may be sent a monologue or duologue, and from a contemporary or classical piece.

Please book online as usual and then email us to let us know if you would like Vicky to give you a contemporary (which doesn't necessarily mean a new play) or classical piece (probably Shakespeare).

Vicky will then give feedback or specific notes to try, and you will have the opportunity to read again. (Please note that you may only read a smaller section again, due to time restrictions). At the end there will also be chance for a Q&A - firstly on any specific questions arising from the session itself, then (if time allows) broadening out to more general questions.
