This practical workshop for theatre practitioners is part of a series of multi-disciplinary professional development workshops, hosted by Four Rivers theatre company, throughout 2026.
Using a classic text as a starting point, this workshop will explore how to manage changes of style in theatre and what are the things an actor needs to do to execute a given style.
We will explore what the actor/director needs to focus on the within these styles and what the common denominators are for the performer and director.
