Andrea Ainsworth, Voice Director of the Abbey, Ireland’s National Theatre, will join us for an interactive presentation on how she helps actors take the words of a script off the page and breathe life into them. 

She will demonstrate the techniques and imaginative process that are an integral part of an actor’s rehearsal work. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a “Talking Text” workshop, using selections from Shakespeare, Seamus Heaney and W.B. Yeats.

No previous acting experience is necessary.
