Working with Theatre Text

Discover the depths you can go to as an actor in this masterclass on working with theatre text with Cath Boniface. She will guide you through the process of bringing the words of a script to life, plus all the hidden subtext inside the script!

The workshop will focus on how to make good choices as an actor, unpacking difficult scenes and text, and some paired scene work.

Facilitator Cath Boniface
Cath fell into acting by accident. She needed to fill a credit in the Bachelor of Social Science degree she was studying to earn at the Waikato University and figured that the class “Practical Drama I” was an easy pass and enrolled. She found the course incredibly fun and inspiring and moved on from there to enroll in the NZ School of Performing Arts’ two-year Diploma of Acting for Screen and Theatre, concentrating on all facets of acting from voice/movement/technique to writing/directing/designing as well as performing. Cath went on to complete further training at The Actors Space with Raymond Hawthorne. As well as being an award-winning performer Cath has also won awards as a director.
