The committee have been working hard to decide on ways The Players can continue and attract new members and support. So, we have decided to run some workshops to encourage both our existing members and new people to come along and take part – and have some fun in the process! We have been fortunate in securing professional help for these workshops and hope that they will be well supported.
All the workshops will take place in the Function Room of the Dolphin Hotel.
Tuesday 7th February at 7.30pm. Nigel, the Chairman (not a professional!) will run some play readings where we will discuss the impressions made from the page, character analysis, and maybe even a bit acting!
Tuesday 21st February at 7.30pm. Kathryn Bringloe, professional singing teacher and classically trained soprano, will be exploring ‘Connecting Singing and Voice with the actor’. She will focus on drawing attention to the body, breath and voice for the actor. Then progressing to the sung voice, learning warm up exercises and singing techniques to help an on-stage performance.
If you have a favourite song or monologue you would like to try out, please bring it along.
Tuesday 7th March at 7.30pm: Come and join professional actor and voiceover artist Gordon Cooper for a fun acting workshop, exploring and playing with basic acting techniques and exercises to help in developing interesting and believable characters for performance.
Tuesday 14th March at 7.30pm: Alistair Ganley, Artistic Director at The Cygnet Theatre in Exeter, will be running a workshop on Directing Skills and acting techniques. The Cygnet Theatre is a well-established training theatre for both professional and amateur actors, and teaches a wide range of theatrical skills and techniques.
Everyone is welcome!
