Receiving a script is only the beginning. What happens next? How do you transform words on a page into a truthful, compelling performance? And how do actors make it look so effortless—appearing to step seamlessly from themselves into the life of another person?
In this 90 minute session, Miranda will take participants through her approach to script analysis and character preparation, sharing the practical tools she uses to unlock a script and build a performance from the inside out.
Please note: This event is at 10:30am AEST (Sydney/Melbourne time) and 12:30pm NZ time. You will be sent a Zoom link to tune in.
