Actor's Gyms

A space for actors at all stages of experience to explore, play and grow.

Led by Resident Trainee Director Dena Davies, these semi-regular workshops will use published plays as a foundation to dive into new skills, explore some text and work your acting muscle in a supportive environment.

Details of confirmed sessions, playtexts and sign-up deadlines will appear below. Copies of the script will be circulated with attendees 48 hours before each session.

While these sessions are open to anyone aged 14+, they are designed to support the practice of professional actors, performers and creatives. If you are in training or education and are uncertain whether the session would be accessible, please contact stiwdio@theatrclwyd.com

With Stephanie Morgan of Both Feet Actor Training

The Foundations of the Meisner Technique: Connection

This practical session introduces the principles that underpin the Meisner Technique - connection, presence and truthful response. Through guided exercises, you’ll explore how to listen with your whole body, respond in the moment and release habits that get in the way of authentic connection. Whether you’re new to Meisner or returning to it, this workshop will give you tools to bring greater truth and freedom to your work.


Producers Surgeries

Do you have a project that you’re excited about, but are stuck on how to move it forward? Spend time with a Theatr Clwyd Producer and get some constructive, supportive advice on your next step. These sessions will put the focus where you need it most, meaning we can tailor the discussion to focus on funding, project planning, developing partnerships or something else entirely. Book your slot to join us for a cuppa and a chat!

Please note: These sessions are 1 to 1 meetings, designed to support artists who have specific ideas, projects or problems they are looking for advice on. They are not designed to explore creative concepts or dramaturgical ideas, but rather to provide logistical and planning support in line with an artist's existing aims. Those who book a session will be expected to provide a breakdown at least 5 working days in advance that covers their idea, their current barriers, and (if applicable) their budget.

If you are looking for general support or career advice, please contact stiwdio@theatrclwyd.com to setup a meeting.

Unless otherwise specified, these meetings will be in English.
