Spotlight Open House London: Wednesday 8th November

Have one-to-one time with The Casting Directors Guild's Heather Basten.

Flatmate not in, Mum telling you you’re amazing no matter what you do, dog not providing much help? Working independently can be hard sometimes - we don’t know where to begin or feel like we’re getting nowhere. This workshop will provide you with useful exercises and tools when working alone on a piece, making you feel more confident that your piece is ready to go and you as your own director is just as good (as your flatmate, Mum or dog). Please bring along a new 1-2 minute contemporary monologue you want to work on or a monologue you're feeling a bit stuck with. Please also wear comfy clothes you can move in.

Please note this session is only for those aged between 8 and 13 years old. Mainly experienced at treading the boards? Or just need a refresh on how to make the best impact when acting on camera? Casting director Emma Sylvester will be on hand to give you feedback to improve your performance in front of the camera.

This workshop will be a practical workshop exploring the many ways theatre artists may audition actors for more physical roles. From physical creative improvisation tasks to learning moments of choreography, the workshop will culminate in devising a task where the group will share some physical theatre work using movement to tell a story.
