Acting & Scriptwork Workshop

In this workshop, we’ll analyse, rehearse, and perform duologues from acclaimed, well-crafted theatre plays, bringing fully developed characters to life. You’ll explore each character's motivations, background, and emotional arc, with special focus on the intricate relationship between the two characters in the scene. We'll examine how their interactions drive the emotional landscape and move the narrative forward. With guidance from the teacher, you’ll develop the skills to portray an individual character and their connection with others, creating a layered and compelling scene.

Whether you're a budding performer, looking to exercise your creativity, or simply want to try something new, this workshop offers a safe, supportive environment to explore acting. It’s a great opportunity to build confidence, improve public speaking, enhance creative thinking, and connect with your voice and body.
