I was able to quickly overcome my long held misconceptions about what acting is and was ushered into a place of freedom, spontaneity and freedom with the scene.
That way you can be learnt for the Drop In session on Wednesday. Post a request on The Rehearsal Room Drop In WEDNESDAYS & SUNDAYS Facebook Group and see who might join you. OR INVITE A FRIEND.
You might find a scene partner on the day. Have a scene on standby so you can email it once you do have a partner.(Most scenes are gender neutral. You can frequently swap a character’s gender without any detrimental consequences.)
If you are already familiar with The Rehearsal Room techniques then this is a simple way to expand them further. IF YOU AREN’T FAMILIAR WITH THIS APPROACH USE YOUR OWN PROCESS AND SEE WHAT YOU LEARN. Actors must be flexible, eh!!
The format is the standard approach to classes at The Rehearsal Room. 1) General discussion about acting theory 2) Actors move in pairs to ‘Breakout Rooms’ to work their scene (Richard can join you to offer advice.) 3) Rejoin the main group to play your scene and get feedback.
Zoom allows you to record your work so you can re-evaluate afterwards.
Enjoy the convivial atmosphere of these classes while you continue to explore the wondrous world of acting and KEEP EXERCISING YOU ACTING MUSCLES.
You can make these sessions as challenging or relaxing as you like. Actors who keep returning to The Rehearsal Room see there skills get better and better.
Richard finds every workshop provides the opportunity not only for actors to grow more but also for the collective understanding of technique to grow more. The exciting element of these classes is that they train actors to think in a productive way about the practicalities of acting. The discussions are stimulating, purposeful and highly productive. Richard is always on the look out for the new view that he will learn from the next class. Some thought you philosophize about today might well be an exciting basis for tomorrow’s class.Richard often says, “I get out of bed each day excited by the prospect of an unexpected new discovery.”
USE THESE EXCELLENT SESSIONS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE.Learn skills you will use throughout your career. Learn to be real, to be versatile, to be a great listener and to be skilled in auditions. AND … HAVE SOME FUN!!!

OUTSTANDING performances were the hallmark of the last Eclat MASTER CLASS. The other spectacularly consistent outcome was the quantum leap forward that actors made over the term. Exciting new refinements of process were discovered and tested. But, it was the overall quality of the performances that impressed ‘Wentworth’ Producer Pino Amenta on the final night of the term.
Expand the effectiveness of your skills to a highly professional level. Refine your techniques and practice very effective, uniquely practical add-ons. Directors will love your ability to interpret their notes. In the final session be directed by a guest director.

I have observed leading teacher directors in the US and UK and Richard shares with them that facility to guide actors through the guff to the heart of the scene.
This workshop will find new levels of emotional complexity for a character. Emotions are directly connected to the level of success or failure we experience at achieving our goals. Explore techniques that raise the bar on achieving more heightened outcomes.
Delivering the story is the actor’s primary focus. You will be empowered to engage your audience with the real drama in a very real way.
Challenging exercises that stretch the actor’s capabilities to follow core process because they have extra tasks to incorporate
Because of the level of experience in this group actors will participate in developing the challenges the group will face
To work internationally being able to manage your accent and also act well are two essential ingredients
Be part of a course that takes your work to a new professional HIGH
Richard loves conducting the MASTER CLASS sessions. It is in these sessions that new articulations of this acting process will emerge. It is here that the learning is shared between the actors and the teacher. Although actors may still be clarifying their understanding of the detail of The Rehearsal Room process in these sessions they are now ready for big challenges and strong critiques. Because we are all measuring performances from the same set of values the discussions are exciting and frank.
As actors negotiate their choices before starting a scene Richard listens to to the practical nature of the discussions. It gives him immense satisfaction to hear actors identifying problem areas ahead of time. He often says, “When I hear actors analyzing the potential problems in a scene and sharing a range of simple solutions my spirits instantly rise. One of the main values of this process is to empower actors to see the possible outcomes of their choices while they are still in the preparation stage. It has always been my view,” he says, “that a professional can always fix a problem when it arises. The next step in professionalism is when the actor can anticipate the problem before it arises. I see actors at The Rehearsal Room doing that all the time.”
Richard always remembers the actor who said, “Not only can I make clear choices now; but I can also guess the outcome those choices will generate AND I’m also be instantly ready to change them if they don’t work.”
Richard believes those are the professional skills that all actors should be able to deliver with ease
