This 3-day Summer intensive course would be aimed at anyone interested in pursuing acting as a career or who may be curious about the profession.
On Day 1, we will focus on ‘Getting into Character’, the art of acting, presence and the foundations of character work. Beginning work on recording scene(s), we will explore script analysis, breath-work, focus, improvisation and movement.
Day 2 will look at ‘Acting as a Career’. An opportunity to learn more about the mechanics of work in the on-screen industry with valuable guidance and practical tools. The class will explore elements such as: understanding different types of T.V. roles; navigating ‘On Set’ with professionalism and preparation; dealing with imposter syndrome & self-care; headshots; costs & memberships; agents; sight reading and more.
Day 3 will be a chance to reflect and recieve feedback on acting work taped during the class. This will be a space for mock audition work, feedback and any further discussion and questions.
