Tread the Boards’ director Brian Boardman says “Peter teaches performers to look at a script or a song from an actor’s prospective, analysing it in strict detail and finding the inner emotion required for a particular character in any given scene or song. He emphasises the need to prepare and research every role you play and song you sing to make your character more believable, encouraging you to think how your character reacts and interacts with other characters. It’s a tough business, so he works the students hard, urging them to perform at the top of their game at all times, often exuding levels of performance they didn’t think was possible themselves. His ‘in-your-face’ method challenges the students while focussing on the three central tenets of theatre: creativity, confidence and collaboration.
“Peter is a great motivator and is so passionate and committed to his craft. It is an absolute joy to watch him working and teaching. His musical theatre workshop was a ‘masterclass’ on stagecraft. I’m sure our youngsters will be much better prepared, emotionally ‘in character’, and better all-round performers as a result of this intensive two-day workshop. His teaching methods certainly proved very popular with our young performers and I know he'll have added to his growing fan base in Tayside. A presentation showcase ‘at the end of the day’ was extremely well received by an enthusiastic audience of parents, relatives, friends and invited guests. We can’t wait to have him back again next year.
