The Actor is the Theatre ~ Rudolf Steiner’s Approach To Artistic Speech

Sunday 13 April 10am - 5.30pm

A sequence of Sunday monthly workshops

with Sarah Kane

These one-day workshops provide an opportunity to explore practically the core elements of the artistic speech techniques developed by Rudolf Steiner at the beginning of the twentieth century. The approach aims to bring what an actor speaks to life by exploring where we might find the life of words themselves. The approach can inspire and empower actors for their work by building a living and sensitive bridge between an actor’s inner life and the words a character speaks.

Although the workshops are designed as a series and one builds on to the previous one, each workshop is an entirety in itself and can be taken individually.

Sunday 13 April 10am – 5.30pm ~ Exploring The Individuality of A Character’s Voice

Working with both sound and gesture the workshop will investigate how to create the vocal individuality of the character.

Please bring clothes and shoes suitable for the Chekhov workshops as a well as a piece of text such as a monologue or poem known by heart, so that it can be used in the exploration in practice of any aspect of the techniques.

Workshop Fees:

1 workshop day: £55

4 workshops: £195 (Bookable on the first date)
