Avast ye swabs! We be lookin’ fer a few stout lads and lasses to crew our ship! British Nights is back and this year’s theme is “Pirate Radio”. A look back to England in the 60’s, when the established radio stations were reluctant to play the new mod rock and roll music. Some inventive entrepreneurs decided to launch (literally) their own radio stations, 3 miles offshore in international waters. We’ll be looking for a small but talented crew to man our own ship and get the message out that Rock and Roll, and British Comedy, are here to stay!

Although the primary work an actor can do in bringing a character or role to life is done through weeks of rehearsals, seeing themselves in costume often visually transforms the role and is a source of inspiration.

This workshop will look at costumes and the important visual effect they may have.

This workshop will include:

• A look at the visual effects that period costume or prop can have on a play or production

• What are these various styles of costumes and props and how do they function

• Looking after your costumes, your props and the importance of proper care of these items.
