This course is ideal for the beginner who can explore the basics of acting in a safe and fun environment. Students learn how to structure a scene, cold read, create subtext, and make effective choices bringing life to the character and the scene. Stretching exercises and vocal warm-ups are introduced, and relaxation and visualisation techniques are added to help prepare mind and body. Different methods and techniques are combined with scene work to develop the skills of the actor. By creating a solid foundation, the student can then advance to the Intermediate 12 week course.
