WORKSHOP A - JUST SAY THE LINES: Approaching The Text

As a new writing company LeKoa is committed to a no-nonsense approach to text that strips away any pretence of 'method', focusing on the words on the page. Using extracts from Vent or a text relevant to the students, the workshop looks at how the actor fulfils the author's intentions by disregarding 'character', 'emotional empathy', and self-indulgence. This is one of LeKoa's most requested workshops due to its back-to-basics ethos for actors.
