Every Wednesday night TAFTA will host an open studio. Actors will pre-prepare scenes with a scene partner and have the opportunity to come in and workshop that scene with a teacher.
The first session will be with John Orcsik, however as the course goes on we will get different teachers in each week, so the actors can pick and choose who they want to workshop with.
Teachers for October:
Oct 4th - John Orcsik
Oct 11th - John Orcsik
Oct 18th - Jason Christou
Oct 25th - Jason Christou
