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.

Join us for our new drop-in classes which aims at building a community of creatives who want to work on their craft, network and develop to the next stage of their career 🌟🎭

Prior to the session, you will be sent a scene tailored to suit you or you will have the option to select a scene that you specifically want to work on. Please be as familiar with the text as possible.

We have superb equipment for the best learning experience. Your scenes will be recorded and (upon request) you have the option to receive your footage after the session for no extra cost!

The drop-in sessions will be hosted by Charlie (founder of RAIS and Flying Colours Productions) or / and Coady Leigh-Jarram (long-term manager of RAIS and associate at Flying Colours Productions).

Nail the scene and stand out in auditions; Understanding Storytelling and Screenplay Form.

Sending self-tapes into the void makes one wonder... ‘Am I good enough?’ And what does that mean? What kind of good? What makes one performance more ‘suitable’ than another? What is a ‘good choice’, by what rules is it judged and how do you make a ‘bold’ one? Often, the only way actors know how to measure the success of their performance is by the degree of realism. However, in screen auditions, the actor’s understanding of the scene and their contribution to the requirements of the storytelling are paramount. So... does your storytelling suck?

In this workshop, Linda & James will share the storytelling standard all film and TV adhere to and practically workshop and film scenes with you.

• Prior to the workshop, you will receive a screenplay scene and have a role allocated. • Early on, you will deliver a take as you would for a self-tape or audition. • From here, you will learn how to extract the essential conflict and storytelling from the scene and how to avoid being 'on the text' or ‘on the plot'. Armed with new theoretical knowledge of how a film/TV screenwriter constructs a screenplay to UK standards, you will... • ... do lots of acting and practically evolve your scene over the course of the day – and put increasingly more captivating, conflict-driven takes to camera.

Linda & James train screen acting from a storytelling point of view; how to satisfy the narrative, how to identify and hit all the beats, how to create tension etc., which will help you gain confidence in judging what to supply and will build the foundation for any successful screen audition.

Your scenes will be recorded with broadcast quality equipment. Upon request, you have the option to receive your footage after the session for no extra cost!

AUDITION HONESTY This is a 3-hour session where we and the group will give feedback on how you come across in an audition scenario.

You can perform a monologue or a song.

What we'll cover: • How do you come across in an audition? • What type of actor are you in an audition? • How much does a mistake in an audition really matter? • Audition nerves. • Ask questions about the casting process you are desperate to know about.

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

This workshop will focus on the specific requirements of screen acting for comedy. We’ll be looking at how the camera and the edit affect performance and how the actor can arm themselves for the set. We will explore building a comedy character for the screen and blocking and choreographing comic routines for film.

The sessions will be practical as well as theoretical. We’ll be using existing scripts and creating new ones and we’ll make micro-short films in rough format. This workshop isn’t only for funny people it is also for those that haven’t yet released their inner funny!

The process will be filmed and sent to you (upon request) for no extra charge. Which will allow you to showcase what you have developed together over the two days.

Camera fairies

Do you have them? The name David has given to the apparently magic process the best actors have where they appear to be doing absolutely nothing to the eye, or even on a monitor on set, and yet when you see them in rushes, they are delivering a spellbinding performance. How?

With 35 years experience working with actors such as Timothy Spall, Jack O’Connell and Keeley Hawes, David has seen first hand how professional actors are able to engage an audience with captivating performances.

What makes an actor so compelling on screen? And how do you tell the truth whilst still keeping it ‘camera size’? In this practical workshop, David takes you through the technical aspects of acting for camera, how to prepare a scene, as well as harnessing the individual spark that makes an actor captivating to watch. The workshop will also explore the art of subtlety, how some actors say so much without doing anything at all, how to hone your uniqueness as a performer, and the techniques that encourage you to ’stop acting’ and live in the moment.
