A long week-end residential workshop in Italy
(travel Thursday and
return Monday)
Who will benefit?
Anyone interested in acting for self expression
Now is your time to play a new part…
What you will learn
Each workshop is complete in itself or can be combined with individual coaching and/or further
workshops to create a self development programme that will support you through personal or
professional change.
There are 4 week-end workshops a year in January, April, July, October.
Enjoy the seasonal changes!
Understand subtext, play with chemistry, ‘get real’ with behaviour.
According to the needs and interests of the group each workshop will include
- Actor training games and exercises
- Being in the moment
- Breathing, relaxation and voice projection
It will be possible to apply the exercises, games and insights to your life back home and with that
in mind, there will be time in the afternoons or evenings for individual tuition as required.
In the morning, for 30 minutes before breakfast, we will warm up our voices and gently stretch our
bodies awake. Please bring a yoga mat or blanket with you, so you can lie on the floor.
After breakfast, between 10.30 and 12.30 there will be a group acting class.
In the afternoon, after a light lunch, we might go for a walk along the Alta Via, or perhaps visit
the medieval town of Dolceaqua, or the seaside resort of Bordighera, or you may prefer to just relax
by the pool at Villatalla.
During 5.30-6.30 we will meet again for another group acting class.
Dinner is at 8pm.
The week-end is designed to be a creative break, so you will return home refreshed and
re-invigorated, feeling you have had a holiday. You will have gained personal insights, acquired new
skills, been accepted just as you are, and you will have laughed and laughed with joy.
