She also stated that the workshop will be highly beneficial to those already in the acting industry, however, anyone above the age of 15 is welcome to join the workshop.
Nasreen further stated that at the end of the workshop, participants will not only have improved acting skills but will also learn many aspects of theatre such as how to handle co-stars, props, how to manipulate body movements and facial expressions and improved communication skills.
The response from the public has been overwhelmingly positive, said Nasreen, adding that they expect more people to register before the workshop commences.
