WORKSHOPS AND MASTERCLASSES
‘…We invited Geoff to celebrate the inauguration of the Mieczysław Hertz Theatre, where he ran its first ever set of international masterclasses just outside Warsaw at the Kazimierz Dejmek New Theatre in Lodz, Poland. Established actors from Teatr Nowy, unanimously considered meeting Geoff as one of the most important experiences of their creative journey so far. His passion and professionalism turns everything into an extraordinary creative adventure. He is an inspiration and an example of such courageous exploration...'
