AN ACCLAIMED television actor is staying local by leading a professional acting workshop for aspiring performers in Saddleworth.
William Ash, who lives in Delph, is partnering with local community organisation Saddleworth School of Dance to deliver an Acting for Screen workshop at Uppermill Civic Hall on Saturday, November 14.
The sessions will give young and established performers the opportunity to develop their screen acting skills and learn from an actor with extensive experience across British television.
Best known for playing Caleb Milligan in ITV’s Emmerdale, William has enjoyed a successful career spanning a number of popular productions, including Waterloo Road, Clocking Off and The Tunnel.
During the practical workshops, participants will explore the techniques behind creating natural, believable and compelling performances in front of the camera.
The sessions are designed for people looking to build confidence, refine their existing abilities or gain a better understanding of what it takes to work professionally in television.
There will be two sessions throughout the day, with those aged 12 to 17 invited to attend from 10am until noon, followed by a session for adults aged 18 and over from 1pm until 3pm.
Tracy Johnson, owner of Saddleworth School of Dance, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be bringing this professional acting workshop to Saddleworth.
“We’re passionate about creating opportunities for people to develop their skills, build confidence and experience new challenges within the performing arts.
“To have someone with such an impressive television career, including roles in some of the UK’s best-loved dramas, sharing their knowledge and experience with our community is a fantastic opportunity.
“Whether participants are aspiring actors or simply looking to develop their performance skills, we hope they leave feeling inspired, more confident and with a greater understanding of what it takes to deliver a natural, believable performance on screen.”
Tracy added: “We’re really excited to offer something a little different and bring this valuable industry experience right here to our local community.”
