Crossing Thresholds Series: From page to stage in 1 week

With limited places this one week intensive is open to all performance levels where the actor is challenged to realise a group response to an existing play in the western repertoire, by use of their connection to story and their fellow actors in 7 days with a performance on the final night, anything and everything can happen.
Led by Artistic Director Harry Haynes this project is now in its 3rd year in Melbourne. This dynamic experience encourages both emerging and established artists to put ego aside and craft something sacred with an ensemble that can be witnessed by an invited audience on the final day.
Kind words from previous participants
“I think the most important thing for artists to have is an environment where we feel safe to experiment, discover and learn more about ourselves and our craft; without the backlash of ‘not getting it right’. I haven’t quite experienced that freedom to the level that I have until I started working with Harry. The space he’s able to hold is truly remarkable. I was able to organically rediscover important parts of myself as a person and an actress that I’d buried for years in my fear of letting go. For the first time in a long time I’m able to trust myself and my instincts again. I can’t believe how much more I’m enjoying acting!”
“This workshop goes above and beyond in the experimentation and experience of not only developing and creating a piece of theatre, but goes deeper, into the development of character psychology..”
“This experience had a major impact on me as an actress and a person! I learnt so much about myself through the way of working which I will definitely carry with me in my future projects. It’s been a few weeks since the workshop I participated in and I have already used some of the exercises in my work. I would definitely recommend these workshops to any actor seeking a profound experience where they can be absorbed into the craft, or just a chance to act.”
