FAQ
What does a workshop look like?
1
You will be sent a TV or Film script in advance. Prepare as you would for an audition or self tape. You’ll tape once as you’ve prepared, and we will feedback before your second take. At the end of the session we watch back your best take and talk about what worked and what didn’t. You’re sent the tape of your choice via wetransfer after the session.
What is a junior workshop?

Junior workshops run Tuesday from 4:30 - 6:30 and are suited to all actors 12 - 18. If you are 16+ and would like to work in the advanced workshop, please email directly with your experience.
Should i be off book?

In order to get the most out of the workshop, yes. This is a supportive space, and if you need to keep your lines nearby or take a prompt, there’s no problem. Prepare as you would for an audition.
