+ WORKSHOP FORMAT
From the Page to the Stage Narrative, Exposition, Subtext, Dialogue... In addition to his directing credits, Park Theatre Artistic Director Jez Bond has co-written numerous plays, been dramaturge on over a hundred and developed work with actors including Ian McKellen, Miriam Margolyes and Juliet Stevenson. This one-day workshop provides vital tools for actors – and indeed any theatre makers – in understanding, analysing and mounting text. Throughout the day you will engage in practical exercises, both individually and more often in subgroups. These are aimed at unlocking some of the key components of drama: from narrative structure to exposition to creating, and speaking, dialogue that ‘rings true’, and to discerning the power of the subtext. You’ll get to act, improvise and even write a scene – and, most importantly, have fun while doing it.
