Description:
Annie Griffin makes her debut in Liverpool with a camera, a cameraman and a company of artistes for an evening of 'basic strategy' for the performer.


How to Act Better is a practical look at the ancient profession of pretending to be someone else in public, combined with the mysteries of the screen actor's love affair with the lens. With the help of cameraman Pete Coley, Annie lets us in on a few secrets of the stage and screen. How to Act Better also features three of Annie's favourite young actors, Will Brook, Eliot Giuralarocca and Oliver Senton.


Prior to the VIDEO POSITIVE festival, Annie Griffin will spend three days at The Tate Gallery Liverpool, working with local artists and actors to create a 'Performance in the Guise of a Guided Tour at The Tate'. Some of these performers will also feature in How to Act Better at The Bluecoat.


A South Bank Centre commission, touring with the aid of The Old Museum Centre, Belfast, VIDEO POSITIVE, Bluecoat and Tate Gallery Liverpool, Contemporary Archives Festival, Nottingham and Tramway, Glasgow.
