I thought it was the most enjoyable, instructive and stimulating 4 hours. It gave us so much to think about in the ways to approach so much - and I think we all came away convinced of the importance of physical preparation and breathing techniques before starting anything else. I would highly recommend David's workshop to any aspiring actor/theatre group. Thank you Jo & Dean for organising it and thank you David for helping us on our way.
