Improvisation For Auditioning with Derek Miller
In this exclusive Manchester workshop we'll use improvisation as a tool to bring more of 'yourself' to commercial, TV and film.
Acting Coach and performer Derek Miller will expertly guide participants on the use of key improvisation strategies and techniques to explore connection to character, make dialogue your own and enhance scripts and sides with strong, distinct choices.
This class was extremely successful in Los Angeles - with actors praising its effectiveness in bookings and bringing a better sense of self to auditions and to set.
This 4 hour workshop takes the practice of “making things up” and uses it as the fuel for infusing auditions with energy, freshness and - most importantly - you.
This workshop is suitable for both new and established talent considering a next step in their career or looking at gaining insight into current professional practice.

Meisner Acting Technique I
During this one day introduction course, participants will gain practical experience and insight into key aspects of Sanford Meisner’s Technique. Our Meisner Technique 1 workshop will focus on the practical application and understanding of key approaches and techniques to secure performance and stage truth.
The Meisner Technique is a distinct approach towards personal preparation and performance creation. It’s about how we connect with fellow actors to create organic, believable and engaging choices. It's about using who you are and acknowledging that the voice has meaning.
Some understanding of the core principles of Stanislavski’s system or method may be useful but is not essential.
