Martin Freeman says: “Everything is easy. Unless you want to be good at it. Then it’s pretty damn hard!” Acting is not just about playing big roles on a screen. It is about the creative freedom of expression and meeting new people, having fun, and relaxing. Mischief and laughter included. We will also tap into the improv and public speaking – stage fright and anxiety and how to go around them in any situation! No experience is needed. Extraverts, introverts – everyone is welcome!
