The Monday Sessions are a dialogue for performers interested in psychophysical techniques. Using various disciplines of actor training such as Suzuki Training, Grotowski, Stanislavski, Chekhov and variations developed on the floor, we keep our skills sharp and improvise new performance material.

With Matthew Crosby facilitating, during each ten-week block, we co-devise a performance and show work to friends and peers at The Thursday Group studios in North Melbourne.
Come join the conversation.
