2SLGBTQ+ Summer Camp

August 2020

“Thank you so, so much for this fun opportunity to experience parts of my drama classes again!”

“This camp is a great way to build a feeling of community and is a very open and welcoming space.”

In the summer of 2020, we co-hosted our very first 2SLQBTQ+ summer camp, taught by Liam Zarrillo and generously funded by The Crescent Arts Centre so that it was free to participants. We had a full class and the feedback was incredibly positive. We are hoping to continue offering this camp every summer. Stay tuned for details or email us for more information!

Intro to Intimacy for Stage and Screen

October 2019

The Keep Theatre + Sarasvati Productions paired up to present Intro to Intimacy for Stage and Screen with Siobhan Richardson. Siobhan is an Intimacy Director, and co-founder of Intimacy Directors International.

In this workshop, actors learn specific techniques for accessing their vulnerability in a dramatic context, resulting in powerful chemistry between characters without compromising personal boundaries.

David Latham Masterclass

July 2018

This masterclass focused on practical ways of making in-depth connections with Shakespeare’s language in order to breathe life into it and claim it as our own. Using a single act from one of Shakespeare’s plays, participants were taken through a process of rehearsal that deals with ways to bring the world of the play and its characters to life through use of the text.

We got sweaty, crunched some numbers, conquered the audition room, and made it all up as we went along.
