You can expect weekly practical sessions in which you will rehearse scenes, try out interpretations, and refine your voice, body, and presence through repetition and feedback.
You will work as part of an ensemble, sharing scenes, building material together, experimenting as a group, and learning to respond to your stage partners.
During the collective creation module, you will contribute ideas, test physical and vocal proposals, and help shape a performance from the ground up.

Each module culminates in a presentation or public showing, providing an opportunity to showcase your work in front of an audience and experience real performance conditions.
