Sick of your old monologues? Tired of auditioning, but not booking the gig? Need inspiration to learn some new skills? Want a chance to play with some new colleagues?
Over the course of 8 weeks, you will be expected to perform and workshop 3 different monologues that show contrast. One should be Canadian. One can be a song. During weeks 1-6, Actors will build upon existing skills and material, gain new perspectives and approaches to the work, and perform weekly, with guidance and feedback provided by the group. In weeks 7-8, all participants will perform mock auditions, developing crucial skills to help you stay calm, have fun, and book the gig!
