Makers Masterclass
The Lyric Theatre is delighted to have received funding from the Arts Council for Northern Ireland to facilitate FREE workshops for professional actors, directors and acting graduates in Northern Ireland in 2022.
In this session participants will practically explore audition skills and techniques, get to ask questions about the casting process and be given the chance to develop one of their own speech choices. The session is designed to be playful and informative, learning through each other as well as being guided by Kimberley Sykes (Director). Please prepare a speech of your choice from any genre or era.
