MONOLOGUE MASTERCLASS
For ages 11-17
​
A 'monologue' is a moment on stage or screen where all the focus is on one character who speaks for an extended period of time, sharing their thoughts and feelings. Monologues are important building blocks in storytelling, and are found in many scripts. They're also often used as audition pieces.
In 'Monologue Masterclass', you'll get to hone your acting skills, learning all about how to shape your monologue in the most effective way, to move your audience. You'll even work on a short monologue to present live in performance to family and friends on the second day - if you're game!
