Sat May 2 & Sun May 3 Acting in Ensemble Workshop

King’s Theatre, Annapolis Royal. Starting with the ancient dynamics of the player and chorus, theatre has always involved a delicate relationship between the people on stage. How do we support and challenge our fellow actors? When do we step into the spotlight and when do we step back into the shadows? As individuals and as a group, how can we draw the attention of audiences? What does it take for a group to conjure exciting moments of theatre? Using games, exercises and short performance scenarios, we will explore these questions in this two-day workshop. This workshop is FREE, but space is limited and Registration is required.
