Workshops
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.
