Acting Lab: Text and Performance starting at the Orange Tree 

Please see details below and pass on to your members if you think it's something they'd be keen for.

Our Acting Lab: Text & Performance is an opportunity to develop your performance skills specifically in relation to working on duologues. You’ll work on scripts by established playwrights in a fun, supportive environment. You’ll develop skills in mining texts to build a character, responding to other actors and bringing a script to life in performance.

You can book here: https://orangetreetheatre.co.uk/whats-on/actinglabs25/ 

Over the course of five weeks, you will:
• Explore how to build a character from the text
• Deepen your understanding of scene structure and dramatic action
• Develop your ability to listen and respond to other actors in scene work
• Experiment with different approaches to creating and embodying a character
• Increase your confidence in performance
Our Acting Lab is an open space for you to learn new skills or sharpen your craft with a group of like-minded individuals.

Open to anyone aged 18+. No previous experience is necessary – just a sense of curiosity!
Who will I work with?
This course will be led by Orange Tree Resident Assistant Director Rosie Tricks. Rosie was Assistant Director on OT productions Churchill in Moscow, Twelfth Night and In Praise of Love.
