Screen Acting Workshop

Screen acting is often built up as a beast to be tamed, but in reality it can be both creatively fulfilling and fun.  Colin Waitt will lead a taster session that teaches participants how to bring out the best in themselves in their preparations and subsequent performances on screen.  Participants must prepare a memorized contemporary monologue from film/TV (that is less than 1 min) and a 1 min unscripted personal story (as simple as what it was like to brush your teeth in the morning) to share on camera.
