Theatre Review: Theatre Thoughts – In the Heights (2024)

I’ve watched a lot of acting videos to help my story art - these are the 3 I found most helpful: ✨Uta Hagen’s Acting Class A lecture and critique from someone with an impressive list of students. ✨Michael Caine Teaches Acting in Film A Q&A from actors with demos. ✨Wayne Brady Teaches Improv A fundamentals seminar from the musical improv talent on Whose Line. These may be fundamentals to theatre professionals, but I’ve found these extremely helpful in shaping my character performance in drawn story. • • • #drawing #storyart #actingtips #theatre #sunrisecontentchallenge

Solo Shows. I’m fortunate to have worked on a number of them over the last year. I find them extraordinary and exciting ventures. They tend to challenge traditional expectations of form and content in theatre. I think they’re bringing some new energy into theatre and that’s a great thing! I’ve worked as a dramaturg developing scrips, I’ve devised with actors to build their show, I’ve directed classic solos like Shirley Valentine and I even created my own absurd performance-lecture, Doggerland, which I toured internationally. I think every theatre-maker should give making a solo shows a go at some point. Even if you only get as far as a scratch night you will learn so much about yourself, the strengths and weaknesses of your skill set, your unfiltered (or highly suppressed) unique creative voice - it is so worth it! Performers and theatre-makers, deeply committed to their theme, step outside their comfort zones to challenge themselves with the formal demands and opportunities for invention inherent in a solo shows. Solo shows are fired by grit, skill and genuine passion. Of course, part of the drive to make a solo show is a desire to move your career forward when there is little work around. Yet still, this alone isn’t enough to get a performer/theatre-maker through the immense workload, multiple obstacles and moments of insecurity. The passion to make meaningful theatre, to make something unique, has to be there too. So whilst we may question the amount of solo shows being made as a reflection of the current dire state of our industry. This flourishing of meaningful, actor-lead productions could also be bringing some exciting developments in theatrical form and content - something I am always up for! I put some of my experience of solo show making into a short course, Solo Show Lab and some into the video below for those thinking of making of one. https://lnkd.in/ezDi_M9c
