Good morning All!
Calling all professional actors, recently graduated and graduating actors! As I mentioned yesterday there are many exciting plans in development at Arc as we put flesh on the bones of our three year business plan.
I am off to Poland again in a month to visit Arka again, and to see some of their work and do another workshop with their actors. We are in discussion about them doing a short residency here at the Malthouse with their new show Ball at Hawking's which they are taking to Edinburgh in August. I am also looking at some one person shows with a view to the possibility of bringing them to Barking.
SOLO PERFORMANCE SHORT SEASON We are now actively looking for proposals for new and emerging One person shows for our planned short season SOLO in October at the Malthouse Studios. (Final dates to be published when this goes public). So if you are an actor who is working on your own or in a small group on developing material, the SOLO season will offer up to ten people a showcase for their work. We are very excited and open to a wide range of material and forms. So do please pass this on to people. If you are interested email me at carole@arctheatre.com to discuss your proposal.
SOLO PERFORMANCE WORKSHOPI am also excited to announce a sister activity. I will be running a two-day Solo Performance workshop on 29/30 June for people considering making a solo performance, either at the dipping-the-toe- end, or with some already developing material. The workshop will explore:
Generating material, form and structure, character, range, solo acting techniques.
Many of you will know that I have a particular interest and experience in the solo performance area of theatre, having created a number of shows myself including Fallen by Polly Teale, directed by Julia Bardsley for which we won a Fringe First at the Edinburgh Festival. Many of the core actor skills of course apply to this form, but there are some additional techniques and tips that are particular to the challenge of holding the stage single handed for an hour or over. I learnt many of these through my experience of trial and error over the years as an actor and director. I look forward to sharing my learning. The workshop is limited to ten participants. Each participant will have the final 3-hour session on Sunday afternoon to workshop their ideas/material in small groups.
The fee for the two-day workshop is £95.00 plus VAT
Please email if you are interested in the Solo Performance Workshop. £5 EARLY BIRD discount if booked before May 15th. nita@arctheatre.com 0208 594 1095

In the meantime - hope today brings you what you wish for!
