Acting for Fun II is aimed at people who already have a basic contact with theatre and would like to experiment the process of setting up and presenting a theatre play. In this workshop, the student will get acquainted with dramaturgy study, character composition, interpretation of texts, construction of scenes, rehearsals, costumes, scenario, make-up, soundtrack, and lighting, ending the workshop with the presentation of a show.
