Acting for Theatre

Ever watched a performance and thought, 'I want to try that?' Or are you already a performer looking to upskill?

These four acting workshops are designed to be accessible to all participants, from absolute beginners to seasoned performers and are being facilitated by actor, initimacy coordinator and director, Margot Fenley.

As a group, you will explore approaches drawn from a range of acting techniques that centre play, exploration, imagination, communication and connection. Whether you’ve always wanted to do an acting class but have been too intimidated to try, or whether you have skills you want to deepen, these classes will give you space to try! 

Please wear clothes you can move in freely, and rubber-soled shoes (sneakers etc), bare feet or socks. Be prepared that, although the work isn’t strenuous, everyone will be up working on the floor for the duration of the class. 

Join one workshop, or join them all!

 

Dates: Mon 10, 17, 24 & 31 August
Time: 5.30 - 7.30pm
Where: Rehearsal Room, Level 3, Arts & Cultural Building (bldg. 159), Parkville Campus
