Actors can be intimidated by heightened text and verse speaking – how it looks on the page, the words and poetic devices can seem totally alien to contemporary actors.
Former Head of Acting at WAAPA, Glenda Linscott will work with four actors and show them how three really simple tools will help to unpack it all and allow them to play with joy and ease.
Please note that the four actors will be selected by ballot and will work with Glenda via zoom livestream with observers present.
Please note: This event is at 12pm AEDT (Sydney/Melbourne time) and 2pm NZ time. You will be sent a Zoom link to tune in.
