Time: 18.00 - 21.00

We are delighted to welcome Tara Ahmed (Aisha Bywaters) to her first workshop with TAG!!

This workshop aims to prepare you for ‘chemistry’ testing when auditioning for Film & TV. Often, if you make the first rounds of casting, you will be called back with one or two other actors in order to read in together and test your chemistry on screen. 

In this workshop, Tara will receive your Spotlight CV prior to the workshop (please ensure it is up to date) and you will be asked to prepare two duologue scenes. The scenes will be sent no later than 5 days before the workshop so if possible, please try to be as familiar with the lines as possible to ensure you get the most out of the session. 

On the day, you will be paired with another actor and you will read the scenes in front of the group. You will receive feedback and an opportunity to do it again if time allows it. The session will end with a Q&A. This is a relaxed session and in no way a real audition so please come ready to play and learn as a group. 

Tara Ahmed is a casting assistant at Aisha Bywaters Casting. She is part of the first cohort of National Film and Television School (NFTS) Casting course graduates. She started her casting journey by interning at Nicci Topping Casting and independently casting the Fringe play ‘Anything With a Pulse’, before joining the team at Aisha Bywaters Casting for the last year and a half. She has worked on projects such as ‘Everything I know about Love’ (BBC), ‘Riches’ (Amazon Prime Video / ITV) and ‘Polite Society’ (Focus Features / Working Title / Parkville Pictures).
