Training: The Actors' Gym at Newcastle Alphabetti Theatre

"To Lift or not to Lift"

The Actors' Gym

Newcastle Alphabetti Theatre

Going to the gym is like going to a rehearsal, we train, keep fit and achieve our goals!
But what happens when we are aren't in a rehearsal room?

The Actors' Gym is a new version of the treadmill for North East Actors who want to take risks and develop their skills in a supportive environment. It involves weekly workshops on specific plays and skills such as self-tapes, audition technique and rehearsal methods with individual and group work at the Alphabetti Theatre.

The Gym is designed to suit the needs of all disciplines and the actors' need for consistency to try new things, and improve their craft and stamina.

The only cores we are concerned with are our core values: Community, Imagination, and Courage. The Actors' Gym is open to any actor in the North East who has acting experience from a University/ Drama School/ College, or a Youth Theatre.

The Actors's Gym will be led by Jake Smith. Jake Smith trained on the National Theatre Directors’ Programme and has held positions as Resident Director at the Almeida Theatre, Trainee Director at Chichester Festival Theatre and Creative Learning Facilitator at Hull Truck Theatre. He has also been an Off West End Award for Best Director nominee.
