Workshop

A workshop is a practical session or short series in which actors explore a subject, a technique or a new piece of writing through discussion and doing.

Companies also use a workshop to try out a new script before full production, and some casting processes build one into the audition. Workshops run by casting companies are training, not auditions.

In use

We are doing a two-day workshop on the new play before casting.
