CHRISTMAS PLAYS AND HOW TO BUILD ONE.
Structured improvisation and dramaturgy for creative actors, around a Yuletide theme.
In this workshop, you will work on text within a safe and ensemble led environment to unlock, re-imagine and have fun exploring a text through exercises and techniques that will build your confidence. You will experience a condensed version of Matthew Dunster''s approach to rehearsals and process – including script analysis, creating character, and how to vividly bring both to life. It’ll be a chance to jump into a specific scene with detail and guidance and receive feedback and direction. All within a focused, creative and supportive environment.
