Text Analysis and the Decoding of a Script Workshop
As an actor, understanding the intention behind a script is vital. The TEXT ANALYSIS AND THE DECODING OF A SCRIPT WORKSHOP led by actor, director, playwright, and theatre educator Seng Soo Ming will give you the tools to dissect scripts and dialogue and translate that knowledge into your performance on stage or screen. The workshop runs 4 & 5 June 2022 from 10am - 5:30pm
Handpan Workshop
Did you know? The Handpan is a hand-based percussion instrument invented in 2001.
By using both hands, playing the Handpan can work the left and right sides of the brain. Its unique resonance and frequency ratio also has calming effects and is widely used in sound therapy.
