The Fundamentals of Acting programme mirrors the work on our short course acting and screen acting courses with additional work on audition technique and self-taping. The course will conclude with a scene showing to invited family and friends.
This course is designed for people who are starting their journey of exploring acting and actor training. It is recommended for students who do not have much experience and wish to learn more about this process with like-minded people. The course aims to equip students with the understanding and experience of the practice and discipline that is required to train in body, breath and voice as building blocks for acting. This will be through theatre games, discussion and workshops. On completion of the course, students should feel that their knowledge of the rigour and depth of the essential tools of acting can give them the confidence to consider further training.
