About this Event

You're invited to an exclusive workshop on melodrama and its essential musical elements!

Join us for an immersive and playful workshop where we explore the powerful connection between music and mood in melodramatic performance. This is a unique opportunity for actors, directors, musicians, and anyone interested in the history of theatre to delve into the dramatic world of melodrama.

This workshop will be led by the acclaimed international director and teacher John Wright, author of Why Is That So Funny?: A Practical Exploration of Physical Comedy and Playing the Mask: Acting Without Bullshit. He will be joined by Cleo Quesne https://www.instagram.com/cleobulle_/?hl=en who will provide musical accompaniment and insight throughout the session.

NB: If you are a musician, feel free to bring an instrument along to participate in the activities!
