Nailing the One-Minute Monologue
As actors we are often required to demonstrate our talent and passion in a limited amount of time, sometimes just sixty little seconds. Throw nerves into the mix and it's quite a tall order, right? We hear you. Award-winning Without a Paddle Theatre has specially designed this three hour workshop to focus on nailing your one-minute monologue; looking at drawing the audience in immediately, being clear and dynamic, making brave and bold choices and showing your versatility (yep - all in one minute). The workshop will help peel away any bad audition habits you may have developed and get your speech into great shape. And will work on redirection. And you will get to practice performing your speech in front of others in a nurturing and supportive environment. Result.
The workshop is led by Artistic Director of WAP, Anna Jordan, who has been specialising in audition technique for years. The three hour workshop is £25. Numbers are very limited as only eight actors in the group, so if you are interested email info@withoutapaddletheatre.co.uk as soon as those fingers will let you for more details.

Feedback from this workshop:
“It was great to get information on ways of starting out and where and how to spark creative ideas. It was definitely a positive workshop.”
Charlie Platt
"I have always thought that only certain people have the ability to write and that not everyone can have a go at it! I was totally inspired by the class and it made me feel like I could certainly have a very good go at it and that with time and effort I could produce something that maybe other people would want to see!... the class got me really fired up and motivated to want to get started!"
Helen Foster
“Your passion and enthusiasm helped me a great deal. The key learnings from me were to focus on clarity and to think outside the written word for inspiration. Oh, and to be braver.”
Mike Carter, Bilwa Theatre
