Choose to monologue it alone or pick a scene to work through with a partner. Throughout this workshop, participants will get a character intensive and learn to look at a character’s story from more than one side. Using exercises and workshopping we will look at taking a character from the page to the stage.
WHOOP theatre
is based in Griffith, NSW, and local theatre creative Melanie Toscan developed the school holiday workshops. Melanie has been performing on stage from an early age. She has performed many roles locally ranging from the explosive ‘Tybolt’ in ‘Romeo and Juliet’ to the tenacious cheerleader ‘Serena’ in ‘Legally Blonde The Musical'. In more recent times Melanie has been playing the roles of producer and visual designer for local productions. In 2019 she was nominated for a Canberra Area Theatre Award (CAT award) for Best Leading Actress in a Play for her role as ‘Hermia’ in the Griffith and Regional Association of the Performing Arts (GRAPA) ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’.
