Audition Technique Workshop (in-person)
September 19th, 2021
10am to 5pm (with a 1hr lunch break)
$75/1-day in-person workshop
What exactly happens in an audition? What can an actor do to give themselves a better chance? This introductory workshop took participants through everything they need to know about how to audition – from the moment they walk in to their last impression. Students got to try it out for themselves in their very own mock-audition in front of Montreal directors. For Ages 10 to 15.
Puppet Workshop with Daniel
December 5th & 6th, 2020
$75/2-Day Workshop
A head. Two arms. A nose. A finger nail. IT’S ALL ALIVE!!!! In this workshop, we used readily available and recycled materials to build a small human styled puppet. And then, we brought it to life!
GTS Online
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Geordie Theatre School created GTS Online which offered a wide range of online workshops as our way to make things just a bit easier, creative and playful for kids and their families. As we move into our 2021-22 season, GTS will continue to offer GTS Online options when we are not able to physically come together as a way to remain connected to our GTS family.
