The perception of a character actor is changing. Instead of playing types, the best character actors play no ‘type’ at all, to disappear into roles completely while at the same time understanding the techniques required to do so, imbuing their performances with something memorable; they are the chameleons in the truest sense of that word.

Throughout this 4 week workshop we will explore and practice the necessary methods of crafting multi layered characters that can be used in the professional industry.
