What equipment/space will I need?

All classes will be delivered through the ZOOM platform. To get the most out of the course we would suggest you use a laptop or desktop computer rather than a phone. We would also suggest that you ensure you have a good secure access to Wi-Fi/Internet connection. You will also need a suitable space in your home where you can participate in classes/workshops. We would suggest this is a private space that will allow you to engage vocally and physically in the work.

Do I have to do every session?

Ideally yes, so you can get as much out of the course as possible. In order to create a safe space, we will not be filming the workshops, so there won’t be the opportunity to re-watch sessions.

Do I have to audition to get on the course?

No, you do not need to audition for this course.
