A Taste of GSA: Workshop in Philadelphia

Designed as a taste of the training offered at the Guildford School of Acting (GSA), this combined workshop is ideal for those considering our MA and MFA programmes in Acting, and Musical Theatre.

The session will begin with a vocal warm up with Kevin Michael Cripps (Head of Singing).

This will be followed by a practical session with Grainne Byrne (Programme Leader for MA and MFA Acting) which will explore Shakespeare text emphasising psychophysical approaches, with a particular focus on the Michael Chekhov Technique.

The final session will focus on the integration of character through movement and sung text. This session will start with a physical warm up in a contemporary jazz style with Phyllida Crowley-Smith (Head of Dance), and focus on posture and connection through the body. Participants will then learn the vocals and choreography of a short segment of current British musical theatre repertoire.

Don’t miss this opportunity to connect and explore what GSA has to offer!
