Introduction to Acting

Sat 27 Jun, 2026
Join Paul Broesmith for a fun, practical 4-hour Introduction to Acting workshop at Derby Theatre, featuring warm-ups, improv, and scene work in a supportive space.

New to acting, or want to build confidence and technique?

This workshop is a friendly, practical introduction to acting for beginners and early-stage performers.

In this 4-hour session, we will build confidence, explore the actor’s core tools (body, voice, imagination, listening), and practise simple techniques through games, improvisation, and short scene work. Designed for a mixed group, including people who are brand new and those with some amateur experience.

Aims

  • Build confidence in a supportive room
  • Develop basic performance skills: presence, focus, voice, and physicality
  • Introduce simple ways to approach character and scene
  • Give participants practical exercises they can keep using afterwards
