Metamorphosis and Acting Workshops

Metamorphosis starts tomorrow (11th October) and it only runs until Saturday so don't miss out on seeing this exciting production.  



The acting workshops  in the title of this post don't refer to any need within the cast of Metamorphosis but to a series of Acting Skills workshops being run by Ali Carroll. Longer term readers my remember a post about the support group Ali had started to encourage those who wanted to get involved in theatre but needed some support. (See Making theatre more accessible to all). The series of workshops currently running on Sunday afternoons are open to members of the support group as well as anyone else in the theatre who is interested.

The session this Sunday was attended by eight people and covered characterization. It involved games and exercises like having to walk around like a supermodel who is secretly insecure! There was plenty of serious discussion and learning about acting techniques as well as a lot of laughs. There are still two more sessions on acting skills 4 - 6pm on Sundays. There is then a break for half-term followed by some sessions on mask making. Contact Ali if you are interested in attended any of the sessions. Email elizabeth.carroll7@ntlworld.com or ring 07831 488809.
