Acting Masterclass Your last chance to enrole
for Sunday February 25th, a further form is enclosed with this
newsletter and I can now tell you that the Tutor Russ Tunney has selected a good
variety of play extracts to work on including “The Crucible” , “Nevilles
Island”, “Noises Off”, “Cider with Rosie”, “Blood Brothers”,
“Uncle Vanya” and “As You Like It”. All the indications are that this
Masterclass is going to be a most interesting and rewarding day for those taking
part. DON’T MISS OUT! Some Handbook Alterations
Lights Camera Action Did you know
that Cheshire is now being promoted as an ideal location for film makers? An
office has been established in Frodsham to promote our Grand Homes such as
Disley Hall and Tatton Hall. The new Runcorn bridge by night could stand in for
America we are tols and Ellesmere Port also offers possibilities. This is not to
meantion the delightful Cheshire countryside (with typical farm smells that
could come as a shock to townie actors!) However even these could be preferable
to the hazards of filming that took place in one area of Runcorn where a glue
factory is situated! If Cheshire did establish itself as a location there could
be opportunities for work as “extras” and , I guess, no shortage of CTG
members keen to move from stage to screen. CTG

on the craft of acting “Sometimes the equation is, if there is no apparent
effort, then it can’t be registering, which is ridiculous, because if you see
effort, you know something isn’t right. It’s excrutiating to watch”. Miranda Richardson – from “In the Company of Actors” published by A & C Black. |
