🎭 ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Mastering the Monologue is a welcoming, beginner-friendly workshop focused on building performance confidence and creative connection — no prior acting experience is needed.
This workshop is your space to explore, stretch, and shine under the gentle guidance of established theatre director Susie Penrice Tyrie and her co-facilitator Cat Kulkarni. Through foundational acting exercises, voice and movement work, and guided storytelling, you will develop core performance skills. You will get the chance to share your story with an intimate group, blending personal storytelling with theatrical techniques, adapting and growing through the hands-on immersion in the craft of theatre.
While participants usually come on their own — we find that strangers quickly become friends and collaborators in our space. At the end of the workshop, participants will perform a short piece in a friendly live showcase, with the focus throughout being on learning, growth, and enjoying the process together.
