tiata fahodzi are hosting a free event as part of the Watford Fringe, at the Pump House Theatre, Watford.
We’re screening the film of our production of cheeky little brown that was filmed in collaboration with The Space at Theatre Royal Stratford East last year. We’re following the screening with a panel discussion about the process of taking plays from stage to screen and the growth in the digital theatre market. There will also be an opportunity for an audience Q&A, and refreshments will be served afterwards.
We hope that both the panel discussion and the Q&A will give insight to the industry, and be an opportunity for students, artists and theatre makers to connect with and learn from industry professionals.
This is a dynamic and demanding course based on the values of classical acting, adapted to suit the needs of the contemporary world and the artists of today.
The course is practical, not theoretical and provides a thorough training in vocal, physical and imaginative techniques which will support you in discovering your full creative potential. Our approach will provide you with the ability to continue learning and developing beyond these three years and throughout your professional life.
As a year group company you will be taught in classes and through regular one-to one tutorials across all of the core disciplines. You will have many opportunities to work collaboratively with leading directors, writers and designers from theatre, film and television as well as meeting key industry casting directors and agents.
