The Session
In the Session, our actors will be given the opportunity to perform a film of T.V monologue for Ruth where she will offer feedback and redirection.
Each actor will be allocated a 10 min performance slot at the start of the session.
The final hour will be devoted to a Q&A with Ruth.
This is a brilliant opportunity to get directly in front of a working T.V director who is often the final link in the chain of decision making of who is cast in T.V soaps and dramas alongside the Producer.
