+ WORKSHOP FORMAT
Following an introduction, participants will film their tape with FInnian Tweed under audition conditions (with the whole group present). We have superb equipment for the best learning experience. Finnian will give each participant notes allowing them the chance to do a second take. This will be followed by a short tea break and an informal Q&A.
Finnian Tweed will send out a selection of scenes before the workshop. Please choose a scene that suits you best regardless of gender, age and ethnicity. Andy would like participants to be as familiar with text as possible.
