AFTER HOURS
After a few months since our last workshop of this sort, we are happy to announce the fifth batch of our After Hours Workshop. This will be held at the Arts in Motion Studios at Sion, and will be conducted by Quasar.
'AFTER HOURS' is our special ice breaker/ explorator/ tester/nothing lost-everything gained, weekend acting course for a quick check to explore & determine latent potential & future career in theatre/films. The program will include voice work, body language, theatre games, role playing, statues, miming, script writing & more.
With emphasis on acting going beyond observing to actual 'doing' the group is treated like a professional theatre troupe and all topics covered as though they were rehearsals and improvisations. The course will culminate in a short play on the final day to be performed for friends, family & public.
The program will begin Sunday 17th July and will be held for a duration of 5 weekends, (8 sessions) every Sat & Sun. Participants must be over 15 years of age. No prior experience or background in theatre is required.
All participants will receive a completion certificate at the end of the workshop and also automatically get onto our database which will be offered to other theatre groups and off beat film makers.
