“Pattie Shop Diaries” – May 2018
The director, Onur Orkut, is one of the most talented theatre practitioners I’ve ever met; whether it be through music, dance, dramaturgy, lighting, movement, sound…he seems to have ‘musical theatre’ down[…]

“The workshop was challenging and valuable but also immensely enjoyable.”
-Demian
“The workshop for me was really useful and interesting. I think that the chosen exercises were very relevant for us and the clear instructions helped us understand how we should practice certain skills […]. Fun, challenging and motivating exercises that created a friendly atmosphere.”
-Dimitra
“I got a lot out of Onur’s workshop. It wasn’t just about voice and movement techniques, more importantly he made me recognize that we have a job which is to deliver, effectively, to an audience. It is not about us as a self-conscious actor, it is about what the audience can take home.”
-Stephany
“Very engaging, fun, and relaxed. Gave us lots of good techniques to continue practicing.”

“Onur lead rehearsals for us at the Liverpool Community Choir whilst our usual musical director was away. He was very enthusiastic and conducted the sessions in a professional manner. We learnt a lot from Onur, […] and we all greatly enjoyed his sessions and his company.”
Andy Osborne, Chair of Liverpool Community Choir
“I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the choir sessions that you lead recently. I remember how the choir seemed to sound so much more alive after only a few minutes with some simple but fascinating methods.”
“You made the sessions fun and enjoyable, whilst pushing us to move ourselves on in our singing. The time certainly went quickly.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed your sessions with The Liverpool Community Choir. I went out of my comfort zone which I think is really good and had a lot of fun whilst being out there.”
