Advanced Classical Acting Workshop - Everyman (c.1530)

Our Advanced Workshops are designed for actors who are more comfortable with classical texts and want to push themselves. They involve slightly more complex scenes than usual, and may take a different format to focus on a specific skill or genre.

In this workshop, we will be working with a scene from a Medieval morality play, a genre which uses its characters as allegories to teach its audience how to live a moral life. We will be exploring how we can breathe fresh life into a play that is older than Shakespeare himself.

Note: While our regular workshops are open to all levels of experience, our advanced workshops are designed for actors who have undergone professional training or have professional experience (i.e. Spotlight eligible). If you are unsure whether an advanced workshop would be right for you, please feel free to ask!

The ethos behind Bard As Nails is to provide a fun, playful space for actors to practice working with classical texts. No trying to sound clever - just two hours of bashing the scene out in the space.

The workshops are relaxed - you can pop out of the room whenever you need - and scripts are provided on the day. We will begin with a quick check-in, then get straight to working up the scene. There is no expectation to be off book - just bring your creative energy and come ready to play!

When: 1pm - 3pm, Thursday 9th April (Studio 2)

Where: Theatre Deli
