Workshop: Text Based Character Study

Workshop: Text Based Character Study with Valerie Planche

SYNOPSIS: This workshop will focus on how to more fully use a script to make stronger character choices as an actor. We will explore how to go beyond the obvious, especially digging into the layers that the writer has set out - and how to find clues to those deeper meanings. We'll also look at our relationship to language, how active language can enhance our performances, and MORE! If you've ever wanted to gain more insight in breaking down a script, or are looking to expand your acting arsenal - this workshop is for you!

INSTRUCTOR BIO: Valerie is a Calgary based director, teacher, as well as a Betty Mitchell and Elizabeth Sterlings Haynes Award winning actor.
