Lessons are focused on immersing students fully in the technique and there is plenty of weight placed on teaching skills that can be used on any acting endeavour or assignment.
Want to develop your acting and gain some skills and techniques to make your performance realistic and engaging? Then you will love this course. Students will receive a practical-acting 'tool kit' to enable them to approach their performances with ease and confidence. They will be assigned a character and a scene and will be instructed on how to approach it, leading to a final performance at the end of the programme. The course is taught by an actor who trained at one of London's leading drama schools and is knowledgeable and insightful about the craft of acting. If you want to find ways to explore your talents and enhance them through a variety of techniques, then this is the course for you. There is a strong emphasis during lessons on truly immersing students in the discipline and by the final class, they will have picked up a range of different skills that they can employ in their acting.
