Actor Jody Latham is doing two workshops in Banbury on April 16 and 17. He is pictured here with students at his drama school in Manchester. NNL-160324-122714001

The event will take place in the town centre over the weekend of April 16 and 17 where people lucky enough to grab a space will have the chance to work with Mr Latham in two six-hour workshops concentrating on character development, improvisation and audition techniques.

Mr Latham, who runs his own drama school in Manchester, said: “I have been acting for 18 years and I always get asked by people of different ages how you get into the profession and that they never had the chance to take it to the next step.

“I come to Banbury quite often and found that there aren’t a great deal of things like this for adults where they can have fun and build their confidence up. I wanted to see how I could use my experience and help the future talent get into a career in acting.”
