Our Workshops
Over the summer term (April-July), we’re running a BPT Actor Training Course which will see participants develop a detailed character and work on a monologue of their choice in a fun and supportive space.
Like all BPT workshops, these sessions will give you the chance to play, meet new people, develop your creativity and have a lot of fun. But they’re also a chance for a deeper dive into actor training and performance skills.
Each week the workshop focuses on a different naturalistic acting technique, which will give you the tools to develop your character, deliver your monologue with confidence and start to take creative risks on the stage. At the end of each session, you will have the chance to share your monologue within the group and receive positive feedback to help develop your work.
If you used to love acting but haven’t done it for years. If you’ve always wanted to act but didn’t know where to start. Or if you’ve never done anything like this before and you want to try something new, come and join us.
These sessions are drop-ins, so you can come to all, or pick and choose depending on the skills you are interested in learning. Each 1.5-hour workshop will be a mixture of games, acting techniques and script work.
At the first workshop you attend, we will give you a choice of monologues to choose from and there will be no pressure to learn lines, though you can if you want to.
Before you book
We prioritise people who have had the fewest opportunities to access arts and cultural activities. We are open to anyone with a BN postcode, who is over 18, and who doesn’t earn their living as a professional artist.
We charge for all activities on a Pay What You Decide basis.
Access
Thanks to the support of Brighton and Hove buses we are able to offer day saver bus tickets to those on low incomes wanting to attend our workshops.
If the cost of transport or childcare prevents you from attending, we can help. Please contact us in confidence to discuss your access needs:
