What is it?

A two-day workshop focused on approaches to text and scene study.

The facilitating directors will lead a morning workshop on approaches to text and scene study, before actors and directors split into groups and work on their scenes for the rest of the weekend. At the end the scenes are filmed on stage and then as self-tapes for actors to take home.

Who is it for?


The Weekend Workshops are for emerging actors and directors to get the chance to learn from top practitioners working in the industry at the moment.


For directors its a rare opportunity to work on a scene while receiving direct mentorship from a professional director, and go home with a filmed example of your work.


For actors it's a chance to work on a scene for two days, with the support of an emerging and a professional director before filming a self-tape to take home.


For everyone its a way meet and network with other young creatives and build a community of theatremakers working in London.
