What you will learn

The Acting Foundation course is an opportunity to spend three hours a week developing your acting and audition skills. The course runs for one morning a week and is ideal for those who want to hone their acting skills before applying to a full-time course acting course. The course is split into three terms: The first term will focus on monologues and collaborative skills (Sept - Dec) The second term will focus on short scenes and working on duologues with a fellow actor (Jan-March) The third term is about putting on an industry showcase, to share the skills you have learnt over the first two terms. This course is part of the Acting Foundation and called 'Acting: Showcase' (April - July) Ideally you would sign up for all three terms and progress your skills through the year. You can also join at any point in the year, but this will be subject to an audition to assess your skills for that specific term.
