What skills do you learn?
During this scene study, you will be directed by Harry Haynes using his process inspired by Stanislavsky’s final gift to the world of theatre: Active Analysis and Anne Bogarts devising practice the combination gives way to an exciting and dynamic rehearsal method.
What is Active Analysis?
Is a rehearsal process in which the actor as an explorer uses the text as a treasure map to find their way to the character and the essence of the play up on their feet and work to investigate the text from day one script free!
Through this way of working the actor, director and playwright are constantly in a state of creative communication with the actor encouraged to be a collaborator to the full process.

Kind words from previous participants
“Working with Harry reminded me that, as an actor, to truly live in imaginary circumstances, it starts with you. Throughout the workshop, I was given the space to explore what was already inside of me, and taught the importance of bringing what’s there into the world on stage.”
“Harry works with empathy – encouraging each actor to own their process, whilst nurturing the skills already there. His insights, I found, were almost always acuate – not just about performing, but about the inner workings of human beings. I look forward to working with him again.”
