Course outline

What is the course about?

The members of the course work towards forming a company and staging a performance at the end of the term, to a paying audience. During this process you can hone your skills and keep your actor's instinct.

What topics will we cover?

The course is designed to give practical opportunities to further experience and extend your craft, while addressing concerns and skill gaps. There will also be opportunities to showcase your writing and directing skills if you wish.

By the end of this course you should be able to:

- feel more confident in any skill that you previously felt anxious about, e.g. sightreading skills
- audition confidently
- work with ease in a company situation, with the ability to progress your own creativity and ideas fluently
- perform confidently.

What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?

Professional. Equity card holders only.
In order to get the most from the course you will be able to:
• Listen actively and communicate clearly.
• Give and receive constructive feedback.
• Read and analyse scripts to find meaning and clarity.
• Take notes.
