'Acting the Unconscious' An insight into the rehearsal room

25 July 2015 10am - 1pm It is an essential task for an actor during rehearsals to try and understand the psyche of the character they are playing. All an actor initially has to go off are words printed in a script: the task of unlocking the truth behind what is being said more often than not lies in the unconscious. Join actor Oliver Lynes to explore the unconscious in the rehearsal room. Using exercises, games and simple dialogue, this workshop will draw on the work of improvisational theatre pioneer Keith Johnstone, and the rehearsal techniques of renowned theatre director Max Stafford-Clark. Both of these figures offer fun, exciting ways to address the role of the unconscious in performance, and go a long way in helping to answer some of the fundamental questions that actors face: ‘what do I want?’ and ‘how do I go about getting it?’
