Fun and educational exercises aim to raise confidence, sense of play and communication.

2. Voice & Movement: releasing sound and using space effectively.
3. Shakespeare: connecting with blank verse and figurative language.
4. Character development: identifying key questions for genuine portrayal.
5. Scene Study: appreciating text structure, subtext and relating to partners.
