Play Along: Free Acting for Selby Men | Selby Town Hall x BIG STRONG MAN
About this Event
Give Acting a Go! | Selby Town Hall
A free acting workshop in Selby for adults aged 18+. Particularly aimed at men, but everyone is welcome.
Ever fancied giving acting a go? Or perhaps you’ve done a bit before and fancy getting back into it?
Join The Growth House at Selby Town Hall for a free, practical acting workshop where we’ll explore what it really takes to bring a character to life.
What makes someone tick? Why do people say one thing but mean another? And how do we take words written on a page and make them feel real?
We’ll be working with scenes and scripts, exploring the thoughts, feelings and motivations behind a character’s actions. Using acting techniques, imagination and our own experiences, we’ll discover how to understand a character’s world and bring honesty to their story.
There’ll be opportunities to experiment, work with others, have a laugh and perhaps discover something about yourself along the way.
You don’t need any acting experience, and there’s no pressure to perform in front of an audience. Just come along, get involved and give something different a go.
What to expect
- Practical acting exercises suitable for complete beginners
- Working with scenes and scripts
- Exploring characters, emotions and motivations
- Discovering how imagination and personal experience can bring truth to a performance
- Meeting new people and trying something creative in a relaxed, welcoming environment
Who’s it for?
Anyone aged 18 or over.
We’re particularly keen to encourage men to get involved in creative activities, but everyone is welcome, regardless of gender.
Whether you’ve never acted before or you’re looking to revisit some familiar techniques, we’d love to have you along.
About the project
This workshop is part of The Growth House’s BIG STRONG MAN programme, supported by the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority.
Through creative workshops across Selby and Scarborough, we’re bringing people together to try new things, explore different perspectives and build connections.
At the heart of the programme is a belief that creativity can help us better understand ourselves and the people around us.
Come and explore what it means to step into someone else’s shoes.
