The Actor's Edge: Classic & Contemporary Theatre is a six-week intensive for adults (18+), instructed by Vincent A. O'Reilly (M.A. in Directing for Theatre from University College Dublin), who already have some stage or acting experience and want to sharpen their craft. Participants will dive into the great dramatic texts of past and present while exploring cutting-edge performance techniques. Through script analysis, rehearsed readings, ensemble exercises, and scene work, actors will develop a deeper understanding of text, character, and the physical life of performance. The program culminates in a final open studio presentation of selected scenes for invited guests.
