Please create a research page of each of the following practitioners: − − −

Konstantin Stanislavski Bertolt Brecht Frantic Assembly Rudolf Laban

Perform in a self-tape of a monologue to camera - this can be a monologue you already know, or a new one you're working on, but it must be spoken directly to camera. This can be from any play of your choosing. If you are having trouble selecting an appropriate monologue, please email me and I will share an online library of play texts.

A trip to the theatre would be extremely beneficial and watch a play of your choice, however, this may not be possible. Please use Digital Theatre, The National Theatre Live weekly performances or an online professional production, then make notes and tell us about, the style, design, acting, staging, etc.

Finally read a play of your choice and review it.

I look forward to seeing you in September. Mr Hornsey
