Our workshops cost from £150. Please contact the Reveal office for full details or to book.
Stanislavski
Reveal will tailor a workshop for you exploring ‘the system’ using a play of your choice. The workshop can be used as an introduction or as an advanced exploration of a specific element such as emotion memory, the magic ‘if’ or units and objectives. Emphasis is placed on how directors and actors actually use the Stanislavski approaches today.
Brecht
Choosing any Brechtian play, elements of Brecht’s philosophy are explored through acting exercises – from archetypal characterisations to alienation techniques. Emphasis is also given to how directors, writers and actors have been influenced by the Brechtian approach and use it today.
Other Key Practitioners
Reveal also offers workshops on Craig, Artaud, Grotowski, Pinter, Beckett, Godber, Boal, Commedia dell’Arte, Forum Theatre, Theatre Of The Absurd and many more. Call our office for an informal chat.
Shakespeare
Using the play or plays of your choice, we focus these workshops on the aspect of your choice. Previous workshops have focussed on language and verse, poetry and prose, themes, the original staging, directing choices, performing Shakespeare and more. Ideal for both English Literature and Performance-related courses.
Set Texts: Page to Stage
Taking a novel or play of your choosing, we explore the areas of your choice. We’ve conducted workshops looking at themes, characters and their intentions, relationships, language and more. This workshop is ideal for enhancing study in both English Literature and Theatre Studies.
Stage Fighting
A very physical workshop exploring one of the most demanding of performing skills and led by a professional Fight Director. Students are taught how to safely perform moves enabling them to form routines. This workshop is ideal for enhancing drama study as well as for incorporating into performances.
Devising
How do we create scenes and stories? How can we use appropriate source material to trigger creativity? Reveal will use and introduce a series of techniques and exercises used by practitioners when devising productions.
Improvisation
This dynamic workshop explores a variety of improvisational techniques and how they can be applied in actor training, a rehearsal process and in performance. Emphasis is also given to developing improvisation as an acting skill.
Theatre in Education
Going back to the origins of TIE, students get to grips with the aims and objectives of theatre in schools, the logistics of producing the work and creating appropriate material. Call us to talk through your requirements.
