ACTING (1.5 hrs)
In the acting section of the workshop, you'll do some warmup exercises, acting exercises and improv.

BREAK (30 mins)

DANCE (2.5 hrs)
The dance section will start with a warm-up and introduction to Bob Fosse's approach to movement. The second part will continue to focus on technique, but will allow more use of the space while practising combinations. In the final part, you'll apply the moves and technique you learned in a short choreography. The workshop will end with a quick cool down.

No previous experience is required.
