Shoebox’s classes for Actors aged 18+ are aimed at those who have had previous theatre training - you might be on a year out before Drama School or perhaps you are an actor wanting to continue or diversify your training.
Budding actors will be given the opportunity to develop further insight into established methods and techniques through practice, critical reflection and in-class performances - these workshops are both practical and challenging.
The next course, Theatre and Immediacy, is an exploration of experiential performance starting on January 23 2018. More than ever, audiences are seeking new experiences, exciting and unique performances and events, which place them at the centre of the action. This course explores theatre as an active experience.
Drawn from the theories of Antonin Artaud, this experiential movement towards a theatre, which assaults the senses and places responsibility in the hands of the audience, will offer a basis for experimentation. You will consider your audience and their relationship to the space, the performers and the unfolding action, creating immersive theatrical experiences, which are both intimate and absorbing.
When: Tuesdays, from 7.30pm until 9.30pm, January 23 to March 27 2018.
How much: £70 for a 10 week course.
A non-refundable deposit of £20 is required to secure your place, the remaining £50 should then be paid before or on the first session.
