Whether you’d like support with auditions, information with progressing into HE or want to experience a University Drama lecture, we have provided talks and workshops to help. We are ready to work with your students to improve their knowledge and confidence to take the next steps in their education journey.
Drama and Performance – University Taster
This workshop is split into two parts, A talk that explores the different routes into higher education and student life as a drama student and a practical workshop that gives a taste of a lecture at university. For this workshop we have several subjects to cover. Below is a list of the specific practical workshops you can choose to go with the talk. We can also offer a series of workshops running over a number of weeks to cover all of this content for your students.
- Stereotypes and spontaneous improvisation
- Grotowski’s ‘The Wave’ and Personal Props
- Exploring your environment – using sound and space
- Developing work with theatre practitioners (We have a list of practitioners we will use but feel free to make any requests and we can see what we can do for you.)
Drama and Performance – Audition and Interview Support
You can also book a workshop that focuses on interview/audition help. This will also be split into two parts, a talk that provides top tips for an interview and how to get prepared and a practical workshop that focuses on building skills with monologues and solo pieces.
