Host: Niamh is a professional actor, writer and tutor with vast experience in tutoring and facilitating lessons in Drama and English.In any text, play, or story, it is useful to truly understand the characters involved. In this class, students will explore why we study characters. Students will consider how we begin to unravel a character within a Drama context, how to create their own characters and break-down existing characters. This is a great class for students studying drama with an interest in creating their own characters or understanding those written by other writers.
