Dateline: 1st June, 2003 RSC Theatrefair 2003 The RSC is to host its Theatrefair 2003 from Tuesday 24th to Saturday 28th June in the Swan Gardens, Stratford-upon-Avon. Theatrefair '03 is a five-day festival of over 25 events, which will give the public the opportunity to find out what makes the RSC one of the most well-known theatre companies in the world. Located under canvas in the Swan Theatre gardens in Stratford-upon-Avon, the sessions will introduce the work of various RSC's departments. Many events are totally hands-on, and will give participants the chance to try out a range of theatrical techniques, from packing a punch in a stage combat workshop, to learning how to design the costumes and set for an RSC show. There are events for people of all ages, including theatre games and storytelling workshops for children, make-up and wig demonstrations, and talks and readings from actors and directors involved in the current season. RSC experts will help you get your body and voice in shape for the stage. RSC Movement director and Choreographer, Struan Leslie, will be leading sessions about how to use your body to develop a character. The RSC Voice team will make sure you're not speechless, when they explore the techniques used by actors as part of their vocal training. Theatrefair comes hot on the heels of the enormously successful recent Open Day, which saw over 10,000 people pouring through the RSC's doors. Tickets are available in advance, either in person from the RSC Box Office in the RST foyer, or by telephone on 01789 403439. There will also be a Box Office open in the foyer of the Swan Theatre each day of the Theatrefair from 10.30am. Each session lasts an hour. Some are free, whilst other cost £2 or £3. A brochure with full details can also be requested on 01789 403439. Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
