'Act The Maggot' drama workshop

Act The Maggot is a beginners' acting class with an emphasis on fun and breaking inhibitions. So if you're already scared, WE WANT YOU! The usual spiel you get in the corporate world is that acting is good for confidence-building or communication skills. Boring! Let's just play. While these classes will be fun & social, there is also a method and directive towards making you a better actor. And sure, you'll be more capable of yapping to a full auditorium at a presentation or speaking up at meetings. Great for boosting confidence & creativity. This Saturday morning is a fun taster session. No previous acting experience necessary.

Length: half day
Fee: €35
