The emphasis, where possible, is on larger scenes and the collaborative work demanded by them.

This course is a space for you to develop your skills in relation to the performance practice you may currently have running or wish to develop. The emphasis is on doing, taking responsibility for your creative work, and being curious. Whilst the focus is on individual practice, you will inevitably need to work collaboratively, to contribute and support others creatively. Each week, you will be invited to explore and develop your chosen work progressively, through techniques and interpretative approaches and apply these to help you, as an actor/performer, find creative solutions.
