Acting and Directing From A Script
For several years now, Thomas Everchild and Philippa Hammond have occasionally participated in leading the Monday Evening Drama Group hosted by The New Venture Theatre in Brighton.
The evenings run most months (with a couple of exceptions) and are lead by various invited facilitators.
During these sessions we have developed our practical Acting and Directing from A Script programme.

DETAILS
Philippa and Thomas present their Acting And Directing From A Script programme which holds the principle that most acting work is script-based and that the practical opportunity to work with a script is valuable to actors at any stage of their development.
Over the four week programme, participants begin with a brief warm-up and an exercise, then are split into groups, often with a director, and given original short scripts they have never seen before.
For the remainder of each session they’ll read, set up and rehearse their scripts and then perform to the rest of the group.
It’s an intensive, on your feet experience, performing script-in-hand to an audience in a safe and friendly environment.
