Drama Workshops

Improvisation, drawing on the truth of character and spontaneous
creativity are the key to these workshops. Through this process –
and there are no precise rules for how this happens– a script or
outline of the project develops. This process is profoundly
collaborative and delivers a real energy, verve and sense of
authenticity to material. It also centres performance and focuses
on developing and refining this craft. The workshops are run by
industry professional with many years experience in their field.
