Road Map Workshops and Masterclasses

Self Devised - A Process
These masterclasses explore contemporary performance techniques and creative exercises which are necessary for creating original pieces of performance.

Clowning
Being 'present' and 'in the moment' is an essential part of being an actor.
Inspired by the worlds of clowning and improvisation, this workshop will help you stop acting, and instead, learn to react instinctively, truthfully.

View Points
Viewpoints is a movement-based pedagogical and artistic practice that provides a framework for creating and analysing performance by exploring spatial relationships, shape, time, emotion, movement mechanics, and the materiality of the actor's body. Viewpoints operate as a medium for thinking about and acting upon movement, gesture, and the creative use of space.

Shakespeare
Working from the actor's perspective, our Shakespeare Masterclass explores what is necessary to achieve the 'Bard' in performance; Voice and speech, Characterisation, Gesture, movement and physicality and to read Shakespeare's direction to the actor through the text

Building Character
The fundamentals of building a character for stage or film. Using various methods from the great teachers such as Stanislavski, Meisner, M. Chekhov and others, this workshop is a must for any serious emerging actor.

Michael Chekhov
Michael Chekhov is an incredibly important figure in the craft of acting and he is integral to the overall history of drama. The Chekhov Technique is a “psycho-physical” approach to acting and seeks to ground emotion through physical gestures; it links physicality and movement to emotion.

Stage Fighting
Learn the foundations of Stage Fighting; falling, punching, being punched, dragging, kicking, fainting....all the fun stuff that make you a more accomplished actor

Meisner
Meisner’s technique stands out from other naturalistic acting methods because it relies on motivated impulses over intellect. As a teacher, Meisner was well-known for encouraging his students not to “think too much.” His approach is defined by the verbal repetition exercises he developed to build connections between actors quickly. Many actors believe that these exercises are the key to unlocking authentic characters.

Voice
Voice is one of the THE most important tools an actor possesses. Our masterclass highlights this importance through offering technique's that can be adopted into any actors practice.

Intimacy for Performers
Facilitated by India's leading Intimacy Director Neha Vyaso, this workshop is designed to enable performing artists and creators of any age to access their personal boundaries and follow a unique process to build trust with co performers in a consensual manner.

Stanislavski
Konstantin Stanislavski had a reputation as one of the leading theatre directors of his generation, and his 'system' of actor training, preparation, and rehearsal technique is still widely taught and practiced today.
This Masterclass explores some of the fundamentals of his techniques designed, to root the actor in physical intentions, actions and emotional engagement in the art of stage acting.

Classical Hindi Text
We bring in our specialists to look at and play with the the texts of classical Indian theatre. Understanding where drama comes from is one of the major steps of being a contemporary artist.

Scene Studies
Participants will work on scenes designed to help them find the key to being spontaneous and alive in front of the camera or on stage while taking on the actors methods of character and objective. This masterclass utilises tried and true methods designed to enable an actor to be present and disciplined in their scene work.

Acting for Camera
Delivered by our professional film crew, our Acting for Camera masterclass explores acting techniques required when working with the camera.

Voice
Voice is one of THE most important tools an actor possesses. Our masterclass highlights this importance through offering technique's that can be adopted into any young actor's practice.

Physical Theatre
Our physical theatre masterclasses explore contemporary performance techniques and creative exercises which are ideal for creating original pieces of performance and also adds to the physicality of naturalism.

Writing for stage and Screen
The difference between writing for stage and screen is substantial, but there is also the one aim of writing a good story. This workshop differentiates between the two arts forms but also focusses on the skills of character, plot, story arch, and themes.
