Emily Bennett will be teaching for the second week how we can all discover the actor inside through her theatre workshops. All of us find ourselves on a stage in our daily lives whether telling a joke, explaining something important or just introducing ourselves and yet do we really deliver our best? Through a variety of games and exercises, Emily will help us find our center to capture the attention of our audiences wherever we happen to perform. No acting experience is required and you can bring a poem, a story, an act you’d like to work on or else choose something to read out loud from a book at the Oasis. There’s no pressure to perform anything in front of the group, rather you have an opportunity to share yourself and engage with others in an altogether new way.

To complement the afternoon drama, Emily will also be teaching the basics of tai chi in the mornings to cultivate balance and inner awareness – qualities that will ground and consolidate your acting later in the day. There may also be other spontaneous activites as we go walking through the woods in the moonlight…
