A play written in protest against the fear mongering, prejudicial politics at the time - unfortunately a play that has not lost its potency today.
CHARACTER LAB is a boutique session building your version of the most iconic characters ever written. Small class sizes means you are constantly working - not sitting and watching others - but crafting and living.
Actors you have been cast as John Proctor, come play!

New Lucid Body Intro Workshop this Friday! š The full Acting Foundations series now begins May 30.
Iām excited to be hosting these workshops at @melbourneactorsguild in St Kilda.
A 2-hour introduction to the Lucid Body process on May 15, followed by a 4-week Acting Foundations series (Lucid Body Levels 1 & 2) beginning May 30.
This psychophysical acting process offers a clear, practical framework for the actor. Drawing on the bodyās centres of emotion and impulse, Jungian psychology, archetypes, and principles from yoga, modern dance, and neuroscience, the Lucid Body supports actors to recognise and release habitual patterns, deepen embodiment, and access new physical and emotional possibilities in performance.
The Intro workshop is designed as a way into the work, and for those who want to continue, the $40 fee can be applied toward the full 4-week training.

Today I was thinking about this classic question that most of us find triggering - āWhat are you in right now?ā
The issue here is that it sets up the actor as an employee rather than an artist.
You get to choose which attitude you take and you donāt need to write your own work to call yourself an artist.
āWhat are you working on at the moment?ā Empowers you to choose so@thing youāre interested in - Iām working on my version of Hamlet. Iām investigating a villain character whoās actually kind. Iām learning the works of Tennessee Williams leading roles - Whatever, thatās the beauty of it just because youāre not in a job doesnāt mean you donāt get to act.
WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON AT THE MOMENT?
