Jot Gym

The Jot Gym, run by Jot Theatre, is open to any actor looking for a supportive and judgement free place to flex their acting muscles between jobs.

This is a low pressure, friendly and exploratory workshop to unlock and reawaken the actor’s body.

What to expect

These 2-hour workshops are structured as follows:

1 hour: Voice and Movement
Followed by
1 hour: Text Work (typically on a scene from a modern play)

The voice and movement section is curated to build physical and vocal stamina, freedom, and true ensemble generosity. As a highly physical company, we use techniques we trust and practice ourselves, helping actors to get out of their heads and into their bodies.

For the text work, we send your scene a few days before the workshop. We believe there’s real value in jumping into unfamiliar material, just like you often have to do for those last-minute auditions. This is a low pressure environment, so no need to be off book. 

Come ready to move, take risks, and most importantly… play!
