Acting - Over 35's - Level 1
1 evening per week / 10 weeks / 7.30pm - 9.30pm
Have you ever dreamt of becoming an actor, want to hone your existing performance skills or explore your own imagination?
Overview
Following a number of enquiries from mature applicants about our programmes, we have created a series of acting classes specifically catering to students aged over 35. This course is suitable for people who have always wanted to try actor training and would like to do so in an environment with similarly-aged peers.
The Lir Academy’s Acting - Over 35's - Level 1 course is perfect for those who are both inquisitive about a future career in acting and those who simply want to challenge themselves by stretching their creative muscles.
Led by some of The Lir Academy’s core teachers, this workshop-based evening course is taught over 10 weeks. Each two and a half hour session consists of a physical warm-up followed by a voice or movement/improvisation class and culminates with a 90 minute acting workshop. The course will cover key elements of actor training including Voice, Movement and Improvisation, but will also introduce participants to classical and contemporary play texts, using both scenes and monologues to hone your craft. These workshops act as both a taste of drama school training and as a broad and basic introduction to the craft of acting.
Those who have completed this class will be applicable to move on to the next level.
