Actors at Work

With playwright, Ned Manning, created and directed three separate educational theatre performances introducing secondary school students to Shakespearean plays including Hamlet, King Lear, The Merchant of Venice, Twelfth Night and Macbeth.

These performances were performed simultaneously by two separate ensembles each touring nationally for six months – performing to a total of approximately 40,000 secondary school students.

In 2010, Christopher was commissioned by Parramatta Riverside Theatres to create a performance seminar which introduces the concepts and qualities of Shakespearean verse drama and demonstrates how actors use poetry and language to build and shape their performances. This seminar presented by Christopher with two actors has been performed to hundreds of secondary school students throughout New South Wales in 2009 and 2010 and will tour in 2012.
