About Acting Intensive for ages 18+: Online
This one-week online acting course will give you an insight into actor training by exploring the fundamentals of acting in a supportive environment. Working with a range of tutors, this will be an opportunity for you to try out, stretch or flex your acting muscles. You will take part in a series of stand-alone, craft-based masterclasses followed by intensive rehearsals, which will culminate in a final sharing on the last day.
Who is the course for?
- Anyone with a passion for acting. The course is open to 18+ but there is no upper age limit.
- No previous professional experience is needed, but a willingness and desire to share your work with your peers is a necessity in order to participate fully.
What can I expect?
The course has a strong practical focus — learning by doing. You can expect to cover topics including:
- Acting technique
- Voice
- Movement
- Audition technique
- Acting online
- Contemporary text
- Scene study
Each group (maximum 14) will be led by a dedicated director.
An online meet and greet session (one hour) will be organised a week before the start of the course as an opportunity for you to meet with the course tutors and course leader.
Do I need anything for the course?
- A quiet, private space to work from in order to gain the most from the course.
- The ability to print off materials or a second device to work from.
- A good microphone and decent lighting (e.g. ring light) would be beneficial.
- Set texts to be purchased (details to be confirmed).
