WORKSHOP NEW PLAYS WITH ARCOLA THEATRE | 2-DAY INTENSIVE
WORKSHOP FORMAT
July 22 & 23 | 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM | This is a one time fee and is inclusive for all the sessions in this course
A workshop dedicated to new writing, actors will have the chance to explore tone, story, and world building using a newly completed play. With the writer joining us in the room, we'll explore diverse text skills, how to approach new material through intention and what it means to interpret a role for the first time.
“THE AUDIENCE WILL REALLY HEAR THE PLAYWRIGHT’S VOICE FOR THE FIRST TIME, THROUGH THE ACTOR’S FIRST INTERPRETATION.”
- MEMET ERGEN
