Synopsis

  •  21 June 2023 - 28 June 2023
     10:00 am - 11:30 am

Bizarrely, sometimes it’s the role of Waiter or Policeman 2 that can be the hardest! An actor wants to bring the full force of their talents to the table at all times, but does this role actually require it? Small supporting demands a balance of imaginative engagement and honouring the storytelling function of the role. Over two weeks (June 21 and 28) Julian Curtis will work on co-star scripts across drama (week 1) and comedy (week 2). Each week will start with an interactive seminar before moving into live readings for those actors wishing to take part. Apply below for the chance to work live with Julian for work on the DRAMA scenes scheduled for June 21.  (Comedy will be scheduled for week 2  – Wednesday June 28). Scripts will be provided in advance of the workshop for you to prepare. Please note: Observers (auditors) will be present during these two sessions. These events will take place at 10am-11.30am Syd/Melb/Bris time and 12pm-1.30 pm NZ time.

    In 2025, Julian wrapped supporting roles in ‘Hershey' (opposite Finn Wittrock); indie sequel 'All My Friends Are Back in Brisbane'; and 'The Tacoma Exorcism' directed by Julius Avery. As a writer/director he is currently in post-production on ‘The Long Passeggiata’; an ambitious proof of concept detailing the 1960s Italian migrant experience; and has been commissioned by the Brisbane City Council to write his second full length play. His most prominent TV role was the lead villain in the limited series ‘Are You Afraid of the Dark: Ghost Island’ for Nickelodeon USA in 2022 (Emmy nominated for Outstanding Children’s Series). In 2026, Julian will appear across Australia in two plays; ‘Afterglow' for the New York based Midnight Theatricals and a new work for Playlab in Brisbane. Julian is a NIDA graduate.
