ALEX MCLEAN of ZUPPA THEATRE leads a FREE 2-Day theatre workshop specializing in ACTING IN ENSEMBLE
Ages 12 to Adult

Saturday May 2 from 12pm – 5pm
Sunday May 3 from 9am – 2pm

If you’re interested in Community Theatree, this workshop is for you! Join us two days with Alex McLean.

Starting with the ancient dynamics of the player and chorus, theatre has always involved a delicate relationship between the people on stage. How do we support and challenge our fellow actors? When do we step into the spotlight and when do we step back into the shadows? As individuals and as a group, how can we draw the attention of audiences? What does it take for a group to conjure exciting moments of theatre?

Using games, exercises and short performance scenarios, we will explore these questions in this two-day workshop.
This workshop is FREE, but space is limited and Registration is required.

Participants will need to bring:

Beverages and snacks.
Comfortable clothing.
Clean, indoor footwear.

Presented by King’s Theatre, with support from the Canada Post Community Foundation.
