Details
Curious about acting or theatre? Whether you're a complete beginner or already have some experience, this workshop is for you! Join Gustav Marcus Lauesen, an experienced Danish theatre maker, player, instructor, and Zippo Guo, physical theatre artist, professional magician originally from China, in an inspiring, beginner-friendly exploration of acting and performance.
In "Acting as a Game", we'll explore acting through play—using theatre games and improvisation to unlock creativity, confidence, and presence.
