Question 1

Will I be the oldest or youngest?

Accepted Answer

Probably not. There is usually a broad range of ages and backgrounds on the workshop. We have no upper  age limit. Participants must be 18 years or older or over 16 with parental/guardian permission.

Question 2

Do I need previous acting experience?

Accepted Answer

No, the workshop is designed as an introduction to Actor Training for those who have no experience and as a refresher to those that have some experience.

Question 3

Do I have to attend the first session?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all participants must attend the first session as this is a very important part of the workshop and introduces everyone to each other as well as the work and the spaces.

Question 4

Will I have to perform something on the first night?

Accepted Answer

No, the opening session is a very gentle introduction to the work we do and a chance for everyone on the workshop to get to know each other and feel comfortable.

Question 5

What happens if I can’t attend the workshop I booked?

Accepted Answer

If you are ill, or cannot attend the workshop for any reason, then you can transfer to another workshop. However, you can only do this once without losing your payment. Notice that you cannot attend must be given at least 24 hrs prior to the start of the workshop.

Question 6

Will there be lots of scripts to read or learn – I am dyslexic/ working in a second language?

Accepted Answer

There are some sessions on working with scripts, but there is plenty of time to go over these and you will get support from the tutors. We designed the workshop so that all the work takes place on the night, so there is no ‘homework’ or ‘lines to be learnt’.

Question 7

Will I have to sing?

Accepted Answer

Not unless you really want to! There are no singing classes on the workshop.

Question 8

Is movement a dance class?

Accepted Answer

No, Movement is about how you use your physicality as an actor – so yes you will be moving about, but it is not a dance class.
