Youth Theatre Masterclass February Half Term

How do you make good art? How can an idea in your head turn into a performance onstage? How can you bring an empty stage to life?

This half term we, in collaboration with S+K Theatre, present a series of Theatre Masterclasses –  perfect for anyone who loves theatre, wants to improve their talent and push their boundaries.

Session 1: Directing and The Stage: Weds 20th 1:00-2:40pm 

What makes theatre, theatre? What is performance art? Does it even make sense? A session which explores performance and pushes its boundaries. Create a performance tasks using just everyday materials and yourself; watch as you become a work of art.

Session 2: Writing and Performance: Weds 20th 15:10-16:40pm

Everybody has a story to tell. Everybody lives their own fantasy. But how to share this with others and make it into art? This session will explore different writing styles and delivery used by professionals. Learn how to express yourself effectively, and understand how take this from the page to the stage.

 The Voice: Thursday 21st 1:00-2:40pm

The voice is one of the actor’s greatest tools. Tone, pitch and projection are all essential if you want to stand out on stage. We will explore vocal exercises and experiment with delivery to apply gravity to the text. Step up and feel your power.
