Course outline

What is the course about?

Want to get 'toned up’ as an actor? This workshop is aimed at your acting muscles not your abs. Learn how to stay sharp, on your toes and ready for any challenge, and develop your presence and power on stage.

What topics will we cover?

The organic actor – working physically, emotionally and imaginatively. Targeted training exercises to keep the actor sharp. Drawing on Eastern performance traditions to enhance your abilities and power.

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

Have an enhanced sense of personal creativity.
Employ a range of specific exercises for creating 'presence' on stage.
Begin to release your 'power' as a performer.

• Listen and respond to instructions and feedback.
• Communicate clearly in discussion and drama practice.
• Read and respond to a variety of text.
• Give and receive constructive feedback.
• Take notes.
• Work within groups and pairs safely.

How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?

Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?

No.
