Title: Actor Training: Technique Facilitator: Ali de Souza: Royal Conservatoire of Scotland Workshop Summary: Actor Training will offer tools and techniques to practitioners when directing theatre with young people. Offering skills and exercises in directing acting methods in narrative and character development, this workshop responds to the trend of autobiographical work seen commonly in youth theatre in which young people often rely on ‘playing themselves’, as opposed to acquiring acting technique. Ali de Souza will offer easy and workable exercises that can be employed in anything from plays to workshops.
