Have you been improvising for a while and wondering how to develop?
Do you struggle to make your voice heard or to use the space to the best effect?
Are you interested in developing your performance or public speaking skills?
In this one-day intensive, we’ll explore key concepts from professional acting training to develop:
- Your stage presence and responsiveness
- Ensemble awareness
- Effective use of space and stagecraft
- Vocal projection and technique
- An actor’s approach to characterisation blending text and improvisation
Inspired by the work of acting greats including Stanislavski, Meisner and Uta Hagen, this course will give you an acting toolkit to take forwards and apply to your improvised and/or scripted theatre work.
This class will involve an exercise with a short text, for a unique experience exploring skills for both scripted and improvised performance.
Suitable for those with some improv experience or those with acting experience looking to develop their improvisation skills.
