Performers’ Workshops

As part of our Talent Development Scheme, we are offering a selection of FREE workshops. These are relaxed, informal workshops that are designed to cater for actors and creatives at different stages of their career – be they graduates, working actors, or performers returning to stage after some time away from the stage.

These sessions are for people aged 18 and over. Spaces are limited, must be booked in advance and are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. Please only book for one workshop to give everyone a fair opportunity to attend.

Please be aware that this is not an opportunity to pitch ideas for plays or to hand over scripts you want read by Liverpool’s Royal Court. For more info on hiring the studio, please visit our Venue Hire page. If you are interested in submitting a script to the team, please visit our New Writing page.
