The backbone of any performance. This workshop provides a genuine, industry respected toolkit straightaway. We learn how 'the actors art is the art of action', how to make full and truthful contact with another person and create a specific and dynamic performance that remains free so you can play differently every time. We can also tap into some impulse exercises Learn the freedom enhancing approach of legendary theatre director; Mike Alfreds led by Simon who has worked with Mike extensively since 2000. Afraid or bored of actioning? No need, this approach is practical, repeatable and like the title of Mikes book, allows you to be ‘Different Every Night’. This will leave you with the core of a rock solid approach to the craft. Oscar winner Mark Rylance names Mike as the 'best acting teacher in the world'. Growth is guaranteed!
