Testimonials
“What makes his workshops so special is that he has a natural rapport with the students and he forges a creative working environment in which everyone feels valued. He leads students into finding truth in their characters, explores alternative interpretations, and encourages them to make choices and perform outside their comfort zone. His workshops combine intense creativity with a joyous love of acting. Every one of his workshops has been a transformative experience for the student personally and the production as a whole. After a visit from Peter, the production feels energized, as the company develops the ideas he has brought to the workshop.”
Geoff Hinde
Head of Drama Wirral Grammar School for Boys
“Working with Peter was insightful. I am a young aspiring actor and he showed me a new way of understanding a role. He spoke to us about getting to know a character and how method acting is very effective. He inspired me to become an actor even more than I wanted before. He was calm, confident, and knowledgeable about his profession, with a vast array of previous impressive roles in previous shows. I want to be a successful actor like Peter. Being able to spend an afternoon with him was an opportunity no wannabe actor should miss. We performed songs from Les Misérables and We Will Rock You and Peter helped us, with ease, to understand and express the meanings of songs.”
Ryan Caisley.
“The workshop with Peter Polycarpou was particularly interesting as he brought the words to life, emphasizing Johanna’s internal torment at being locked away by the creepy judge. I would say the most difficult part of the whole process has been trying to portray her feelings with minimal movement, for a large part of the musical Johanna is sitting looking out of her window, but the music is so powerful that I can gradually feel her character emerging. “
Sophie Bennett
“Our recent workshop day with Peter Polycarpou allowed me to delve into my character’s thoughts and feelings, and it gave me more confidence regarding the acting side of the show. “
Esta Felix
“The workshop brought the words to life. What we had previously been reading as a piece of music suddenly became a dramatic reality, with emotion and feeling.”
