Introduction to Acting Principles
What’s it all about, how do we do it and how do we go about tapping into our talent for Acting?
Shakespeare Acting
Great fun, not the way we are taught in school! We’ll really get under the skin of Shakespeare’s language and get a feel for how we can use this in our Acting today. We’ll practice Shakespearean Insults (!) and work on a couple of famous Monologues.
How Do You Audition for a Commercial
How do actors make good money from Commercials? What do we do at the audition? We’ll put you on Camera, you’ll do your Identification (Ident) and play with a Toothpaste Advertisement (script on the day)
Method Acting – Stanislavsky
Made famous by actors such as Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Meryl Streep – followed by 2 ‘Method’ Exercises.
Monologue Scene
Just you, on Camera, working with a script specifically chosen for you. Act, watch the playback and learn!
