About the course
Explore the process of creating and producing a solo show with this two-week course, designed for professional actors and performers.
You'll be guided through a process of solo show creation and production, which you'll be able to utilise beyond the course as a blueprint for making your own work.
Throughout the course, you'll be putting into practice the techniques you're learning, and the course will culminate in an informal 'scratch' sharing of your work in progress. You'll then receive guidance from your tutor regarding next steps and further development.
