WORKSHOP FORMAT

Martin would like you to choose a speech of your choice from either: Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, The Winter's Tale. You don't need to be off book or have learned it, but you should be familiar with it and the play overall.

Please feel free to choose 'against type' and pick a character or speech that particularly resonates with you. Perhaps it could be a role you've always wanted to play or that you've always wanted to explore? As part of the session, Martin would love to talk to you all about your choices.

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.

{This workshop adheres to CDG guidelines and isn’t an audition}.
