Whether you want to work on your acting skills, are seeking self-improvement, or just want to have a really great time, this course is for you.  The Acting course is for people who want to develop their acting talent for drama productions, for those interested in improving their communication skills, and for those who just want to have some good old escapist fun in their life, in a low-pressure, playful ambiance.  Each session will be comprised of movement, voice and acting exercises which progress throughout the ten weeks.

Movement: Releasing tension from the body and enabling it to be a tool for specific, holistic communication at a heightened theatrical level on the stage or a minimized naturalistic level for screen and life.

Voice: Training the breath, the resonators and the speech organs to deliver the message of your character on stage or screen, and for better communication in your own work and play.

Acting: A broad range of interaction games conducted in a fun, playful and supportive environment, releasing the real you to communicate truthfully in partnership with scene partners and audience.

As the course progresses, we will bring in text analysis and scene work to put your craft into action.  The course is taught by professionally qualified, experienced, working actor, Charles Mayer.  One 2½ hour session per week for ten weeks per term.
