Because Rehearsal Room workshops clearly identify a performance process they improve the practical outcomes of actors choices. This enables the actor to identify and remedy problems efficiently and effectively. The Rehearsal Room process makes actors better auditioners and therefore improves the chances of employment.

This workshop explores the fundamentals of good performance process. It is a clear and simple view of the Stanislavski approach, useful both as a refresher (for the experienced actor) or as an introduction to performance process for beginners.

Its particular focus is television but its application is universal. It explores - how to create a complex character, identifying subtext, labelling subtext, playing subtext, building trust, active listening, defeating tension, how to play surprises, how to prepare for a take and what the camera really sees - plus much more. The final on camera exercise is a practice audition. Click here for more about the content of this workshop .
