Acting for Screen & TV - Tier 2 - Wednesday Evenings
SOLD OUT
Next Term is entitled: Action, the Moment and the Other
Course Aim: Establish the core techniques for acting on camera, Action, the truth of the moment and playing from the other. Focusing on realism.
This term begings a new series of Screen & TV courses, with a focus on portraying reality on screen. Unlike stage-acting, screen acting requires the performer to underplay the emotion, in order to make it authentic. The focus is not on what you do therefore, but what you don’t do. Through a mixture of exercises and working with the camera participants will have the opportunity to make their own discoveries through observation, review and feedback.
Footage captured will be edited and available within a few weeks following the end of the course. This is intended as a means for you to see the final product you created and completes the final stage of learning for the term. Please note this is not intended as show reel material.
Course Tutor: Merryn Owen
Acting for Stage - Tier 2 - Wednesday Evenings
BOOK NOW
Next Term is entitled: Truth & Authenticity
Course Aim: Establish the concept of Authenticity in the actor’s work, by looking at Stanislavski’s system of acting, and methods inspired by his work.
This term focuses on what it is to “be authentic” as an actor. The main focus of this term is Stanislavski’s System of Acting, along with methods developed by other practitioners who based their methods on his teachings. Stanislavski’s work is central to most modern-day performer training, and throughout this course we will apply the exercises which he developed to our practical work within the class, developing our knowledge through scripted scene-work and devised performance.
Course Tutor: Charlotte Whitaker
