So often a play calls for a fight, a tussle, a stabbing, a slap… staging this realistically but safely takes real skill and in this workshop we will be learning from a pro!

It should a really fun evening as well as a chance to pick up some valuable stagecraft.

All are welcome!

This is the first of three workshops we are going to run each season.They are free to members so a great incentive to join us, just £25 for the year.

£10 for non members.

Spaces are limited though so please email asap to secure a place:
