Further Than The Edge Productions C.I.C are running weekly Open Level Acting Workshops in two Camden venues. A motivating, fun and safe space for beginners, and people with experience who want to develop existing skills.
These are open level workshops, so no previous acting training is required, but you must be prepared to work with other people - communicate and collaborate, and move around the space. You will also read/use extracts of playtexts/scripts.
This is a great place to start before moving on to more formal or professional level training, or to keep up your existing skillset.
Our programme of work for primary age audiences is as varied as they are.
From one-man interactive musicals, to time-honoured theatrical extravaganzas, to outdoor family shows – our aim is always to entertain, give children an experience to remember and open their eyes to the wonders of their own imaginations.
