NEW WORKSHOP
Speak Italian
with your
Hands!
In Italy, a hand gesture is worth more
than a thousand words: asking Italian
people to keep their hands in their
pockets as they speak is literally
impossible! So why don’t you join us in
this introduction to the art of speaking
with your hands? We’ll have plenty of
activities to keep your hands busy
while learning so much about Italian
culture, lifestyle, traditions and history.
Suitable for Lower Intermediate and
up.

Rosie Pelan Rosie Pelan NEW WORKSHOP Rosie Pelan Rosie Pelan
Accents for
Actors: Cockney The Actor’s
Vocal
Instrument Scene Study
for Actors Beckett for
Actors
This workshop will teach you ways of
breaking down a script and asking
questions of the scene, in order to
solve the problems posed. The tutor
will provide materials that you can use
in order to: know who the characters
are in a scene; their relationship with
other characters; what the essential
conflicts or tasks faced within the
scene. Tools adopted from Stanislavski
and David Mamet will be used to
develop your scene study techniques. Samuel Beckett was one of the most
influential writers of the 20th Century.
This workshop will explore themes
such as silence, musicality, humour and
memory. You will also examine texts
including Waiting For Godot, Happy
Days, That Time, and Not I. This
workshop will be led by experienced
tutor Rosie Pelan, who has taught the
Beckett in Performance module at QUB
and ran a workshop on ‘Beckettian
Form’ with Dr Trish McTighe, at the
Linen Hall Library last summer.
The Cockney accent is widely used in
theatre, TV and film and this workshop
will give you the tools to access the
accent and work on ‘signature sounds’
that you can continue to practice. The
tutor will also bring examples of some
texts for which a Cockney accent may
be used, for example, Shaw’s
Pygmalian and Pinter’s The Caretaker.
Rosie has been trained in a range of
accents for the professional theatre.

The Actor’s voice is an essential tool of
expression and power, whether used
for the intimacy of film, or in a large
theatre. This workshop will teach you
how to maintain and protect your voice
and how to develop it as an instrument
of clarity and as a channel for the
emotions. Wear comfortable clothing
and be prepared to lie on the floor for
initial relaxation work. The tutor will
provide exercises and selected texts to
work on.
