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.

Alex McLean is a theatre artist based in Kjipuktuk/Halifax. He is a co-artistic director of Halifax’s Zuppa Theatre Co. and has co-written and directed the majority of that company’s shows. Recent works with Zuppa are tiny (in collaboration with Vertical City), touring shows The Movements, The Archive of Missing Things, Pop-Up Love Party and This is Nowhere, a large-scale live/digital performance for places that aren’t considered cultural centres.
With his ad hoc group Surplus Production Unit, he directed and wrote (from verbatim sources) A Timed Speed-Read of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire Trial Transcript with Additional Notes. With Ker Wells he was a founding member of Number Eleven Theatre (1998-2006), and he holds an M.A. from the University of Toronto’s Centre for Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies. He serves as a board member for Halifax’s Matchstick Theatre.
A specialist in devising, Alex has taught extensively, published scholarly articles, and collaborated with practitioners across multiple disciplines. His work explores the past, the present, and things that are too big to grasp or too small to contain.
