WORKSHOP FORMAT
Following an introduction from Shakyra participants will be paired up and have a chance to read through their scenes. Sides will be sent out shortly before the workshop along with character breakdowns, as she would for a real casting.
Shakyra would like participants to be as familiar with text as possible.
Honest feedback will be given in a supportive environment before participants have the chance to do a second take. This will be followed by a short tea break and an informal Q&A.
