Toolbox: Actioning

Toolbox: Actioning

‘If you want to act, or act better, Actions will take you a long way on the journey to excellence' - Terry Johnson. Actors need actions. They cannot act moods. They need to be doing something with every line. They need active verbs. They need an aim to achieve, and an action selected to help achieve that aim. Marina Caldarone, co-author with Maggie Lloyd Williams of the best selling Actions - The Actors' Thesaurus will lead a workshop which demystifies the process of Actioning the text, and refines the process for those who have studied it at basic level at Drama School.
