from the sublime to the ridiculous
COMING SOON
Richard will be launching a new series of his 'From The Sublime To The Ridiculous' workshops for professional actors, looking at ways to free impulse and make dynamic choices.
​
These workshops will play with the body in space, improvisation and script work, exploring the concepts that everything is information for the actor, that everything goes through the body, and striving to never find balance.
​
Through this practice, which encourages the actor to use pleasure as their guide, you will work to unearth impulses, impulsiveness and intuition to discover in the doing. This work will shake the cobwebs off your process and enable you to find a freshness in your performance each and every time.
​
This series of workshops will be offered on a drop-in basis and discounts will be offered for block bookings.
​
Places will be limited at each session. Sign up for advanced notice when booking opens.
