Movement for Actors

This workshop focuses on the basics of movement and body awareness and how to incorporate them into the actor’s process.
The day begins with an introduction to the basic principles of alignment, co-ordination, the use of space and improvisation. Using these principles,
participants improvise movement for characters from contemporary drama, romantic comedy, and period settings.
Anne also introduces a few simple dance steps.

This is a great way for actors to brush up on their present skills and learn new ways to use movement and body language to enhance their craft.

 Auditioning for Musical Theatre

Okay, so you can dance, sing and act - but how do you get the job? 
Auditioning can be a frightening experience unless you know what to expect. In this workshop, Anne helps performers present
their personal best.  Some of the topics covered include:

s What do you do when you're told to prepare an up-tempo and a ballad, plus a monologue, and be prepared to dance? 
s Would you prepare the same songs to audition for HAIRSPRAY as you would for GUYS AND DOLLS?
s What do you wear?

Anne helps performers choose and prepare a monologue and appropriate songs; choose the right wardrobe; improve confidence in
dance auditions; and polish their presentation to the audition panel.  As an added bonus, participants learn how to build their
resumes and choose the proper photograph.

perform a song with staging and choreography.
