Course Outline
Course Structure
Week 1 explores the technical skills of voice (spoken and sung), movement (physical action and characterisation) and text study (contemporary and classical), as well as specialist areas such as improvisation and stage combat. Classes focus on applying the principles of Stanislavski in order ot develop the ability to inhabit character using the clues in the text.
Week 2 is an intensive period of rehearsal and sees the skills developed in week one integrated into a performance to take place in the School’s studio theatre on the final Saturday of the course.
There is no charge for this performance and family and friends are most welcome to attend.
The course fees also includes a visit to a professional theatre to watch a production.
