Acting: Reacting - with Toby Hulse

Saturday 7th October 2023

10.30 - 4.30pm

About the Workshop:

Acting: Reacting

A unique way of approaching the art and craft of acting, focusing on what we do in response to others, and the moment by moment changes to our character's circumstances in a scene.  Looking at reaction rather than action teaches us to be more instinctive, playful, and truthful actors.  The day will be a mix of games, exercises, and scene work, using scripts drawn from a wide range of genres and periods.
