SUMMARY:Actor's Gym
DESCRIPTION:In the month that marks the anniversary of Shakespeare’s birth and death\, Stiwdio Clwyd is excited to work with Shakespeare Practitioner Clare-Louise Rhys-Jones on a series of Shakespeare Actor’s Gyms. \n\n\n\nThis series of workshops\, led by PhD candidate (Shakespeare Institute) Clare-Louise\, will be designed in consultation with the Local Artists Network. Final details will be shared ahead of each workshop. \n\n\n\nAre you comfortable with comedies but terrified of tragedy? Want to know your antithesis from your anadiplosis? Do you wish to experiment with monologue or dialogue? Whatever you want to get out of these workshops\, please get in touch to find out how you can help shape the workshop content. \n\n\n\nWhether you are new to Shakespeare or a seasoned pro\, you are very welcome to participate in both the workshops and the wider research project. \n\n\n\n\nSign up\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThese workshops form part of a research project\, currently being conducted by Clare-Louise\, as part of her M4C-funded placement at Stiwdio Clwyd. She is investigating how regional theatres may best support actors and directors in Shakespearean-based professional development. \n\n\n\nClare-Louise is a theatre practitioner with over twenty years of experience. She graduated from LIPA in 2001\, and between 2002 and 2021 she ran her own theatre company in North Wales. Clare-Louise ran multiple youth theatres and delivered workshops across North-East Wales\, Shropshire\, and the surrounding areas\, including as part of the Theatr Clwyd team. \n\n\n\nSince 2012 her practice has had a focus on Shakespeare monologue\, inspired by the fact that many of her own students were facing drama school auditions which reignited her personal passion for Shakespeare. In 2016 she produced and directed a Shakespeare Festival to mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death. This drew together multiple youth theatres for a fortnight of Shakespeare-based performances which culminated in an outdoor production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream on the grounds of Chirk Castle. In 2021 she embarked on a full-time MA in Shakespeare and Theatre at the Shakespeare Institute in Stratford-upon-Avon\, and has been coaching Shakespearean acting since she graduated. Clare-Louise is now an M4C-funded\, full-time\, PhD candidate at the Shakespeare Institute\, in her third year of investigating Shakespeare’s use of shared rhetoric in dialogue. \n\n\n\nHer research placement at Theatr Clwyd marks an exciting return to her roots\, exploring in detail how regional theatres can support their local actors and directors to grow their Shakespearean practice.

SUMMARY:Write With... Verity Bargate Award
DESCRIPTION:Write With… is an on-line communal work session to nurture creativity\, carve out time to be a playwright and hold yourself accountable to your goals as a professional playwright. \n\n\n\nYou can join us at home\, on the train\, in a café – anywhere that you might carve out time to be a writer. \n\n\n\nThese sessions are not an opportunity to share work\, receive feedback on your work or pitch ideas to either Sherman Theatre or Theatr Clwyd – it is to focus on the process of writing\, build community and find support with fellow playwrights. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsored by Character 7\, the Verity Bargate Award is Soho Theatre’s flagship new writing award\, with the winning play produced in a full production on its stages. \n\n\n\nOn the award\, Soho Theatre says:  \n\n\n\n“This award is for everyone. First-time writers\, late starters\, people who’ve been sitting on an idea for years. We don’t care about your background or your credentials—we want a great play. If you’re in the UK or Ireland and you’ve got a story burning a hole in your brain\, something urgent or funny or devastating that won’t leave you alone\, send it to us. Just a brilliant idea\, a bold voice\, and the guts to put it on the page. \n\n\n\nLaunched in 1982\, the Verity Bargate Award is one of the longest-established playwrighting awards in the UK and honours Verity Bargate\, Soho’s co-founder who passionately championed new writing during her time at the small but hugely influential fringe theatre company\, Soho Poly. In 2022 the Verity Bargate Award celebrated its 40th birthday.” \n\n\n\nSubmissions for the 2026 Award open on Monday 12 January and close on Monday 13 April. \n\n\n\nJoin Soho Theatre for a new writing workshop for emerging playwrights. This session offers participants tools and inspiration to begin writing a play and encourages first time writers to take their first steps into playwrighting.  \n\n\n\n\nSign Up Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat to expect\n\n\n\nGain an understanding of Soho Theatre’s current programmes\, its theatre spaces and its distinctive approach to storytelling and theatricality. \n\n\n\nIn the first part of the workshop\, learn about the Verity Bargate Award and Soho Theatre’s heritage of new writing. \n\n\n\nIn the second part\, explore the merits and potential limitations of dramatic conventions\, discovering how they shape narrative and engage audiences. \n\n\n\nFinally\, participants will look at script samples from plays that have been programmed by Soho Theatre and gain insight into the techniques used by playwrights to captivate audiences and enrich their own writing practice.
