No. Email Myles (pollard.myles@gmail.com) and he will invoice you directly to confirm your booking.
Yes. Each part (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) is a 2 day progression through various acting techniques with scenes and monologues gradually getting more advanced. Some people complete part 1 and then continue on with the remaining parts at a later stage in the year, but it’s essential that you start with part 1 and move through the series systematically.
No experience needed.
No. Workshops encourage exploration and experimentation. Performing with perfection in mind would undermine learning and growth. All footage is deleted after the workshop is complete.
