Time: 18.30 - 21.30

We are delighted to welcome back Theatre Director Audrey Sheffield to TAG!

This workshop will give you the opportunity to jump into a new scene from a brilliant contemporary play. You will meet and work with other actors - to refresh, re-focus (and maintain) your skills and technique, acquire new tools, continue learning and stay match fit for your upcoming auditions, self-tapes, rehearsals and all types of performances.

The session will open up the chance to explore some fantastic new texts and develop your craft, all within an informal, supportive, yet rigorous and creative environment...

Having looked at your Spotlight CV, Audrey will send out a specific scene for members to prepare at least 3 days before the workshop. All scenes will be duologues and you will be paired with another actor. Once you have briefly rehearsed and then performed your scene, Audrey will offer feedback and direction and the chance to read again. The workshop will conclude with a Q&A session.
