Ultimate Masterclasses are part of TriForce’s continued drive to promote and develop talent. These workshops are open to all those that audition for MonologueSlam UK; whether you are selected to perform at the Slam, or are still waiting for your chance, as we believe that EVERYONE should have the opportunity to grow.
Please be aware that these workshops are robust and are aimed at stretching you as performer by introducing you to new ideas and techniques.
There is no obligation to attend these workshops, but TriForce highly recommend them and they guarantee that you will learn something new – no matter the level you are coming to the workshops from.
These workshops allow you to work directly with the team behind TriForce, and as many of you know, they cast their own productions and readings directly from the TriForce Network. These workshops also enable them to meet you and see you at work.
