Overview
Designed by Roger Evans, The Lir Academy’s Director of Short Courses and delivered by The Lir Academy’s Short Course tutor team these Saturday acting classes will focus on the core elements of acting training delivered at The Lir Academy. Email 'shortcourses@thelir.ie' with the subject line "Waiting List" to be added to the waiting list for this course.
The course will cover key elements of actor training including Voice, Movement and Improvisation. As well as stage acting the training will also include an introduction to screen acting.
The training will also introduce participants to classical and contemporary play texts, using both scenes and monologues to hone your craft, improve sight reading and how to break down a script into its component parts.
