How To Build A Character From Scratch
Introduction
Join Sue Dunderdale for an exclusive online workshop designed to delve deep into her meticulous process of crafting cinematic performances with actors. In this intimate three-hour session, you’ll revolutionise your approach to character building from textual analysis.
