Auckland Theatre Company and Creative Director Colin McColl hosted DEGNZ and Actors Equity members for the latest Auckland Rehearsal Room 10 July.
Craig Watson, Samir Patil, Michael Humphrey and Matt Holmes were the DEGNZ directors who had the benefit of Colin’s long experience directing in theatre and TV.
Joined by experienced and new acting talent, the ATC rehearsal rooms in Dominion Road proved the ideal venue for the directors to gain a greater appreciation and understanding of how to collaborate to get the best performances from their actors.
Thanks especially to Mark Clare who both took part and ran the warmup!

DEGNZ travelled to Chrischurch to hold a Rehearsal Room for local directors and actors on 9 May at Rangiruru Girl’s School.
Directors Louise Leitch, Richard Bell, Scott Flyger and Gillian Ashurst help make up a small, tightknit group of screen practitioners in the Garden City along with very active members of the local acting community who gave their time to participate.
The whole team on the day were thrilled to be practising their craft, facilitated by Katherine McCare who flew in from Wellington to offer her guidance and knowledge.
It was an uplifting experience for all involved!
