Lakewood Playhouse announcement.
Cold reading (or sight reading) is where actors read aloud from a script, scene, or text with little to no advanced preparation. It’s frequently used in auditions either instead of or in addition to prepared monologues. This workshop is for all levels of experience and ability and will include invaluable cold reading techniques for both monologues and scene work. Using text from a variety of plays, participants will explore ways of reaching full potential of expression and understanding with minimal preparation time. Participants will be encouraged to access their own authenticity and personal reaction to material while practicing techniques such as breath control, focus and other performance skills.
- Location: 5729 Lakewood Towne Center Blvd SW, Lakewood, WA 98499
- Date: Thursday, December 14th 6:00-9:00PM
