Senior Play<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The Senior play, pretty.strange.<\/strong><\/em>, has commenced rehearsals with a cast of 19 enthusiastic young actors. They have completed a text analysis with their director and last Sunday, completed an intensive \u2018Viewpoints Method\u2019 workshop with a practitioner from Chopt Logic Theatre Company.<\/p>\n

As a method of actor training, Viewpoints encourages actors to focus less on their characters\u2019 psychology and more on observation and movement.<\/p>\n
