Acting: The Play - Evening Course (Mon/Wed)

This is an exciting opportunity to work with a director to explore a single contemporary play over the whole term and gain a practical understanding of the rehearsal process.  

You will:-

• be cast in a speaking role
• explore text analysis, character development, taking direction and ensemble storytelling
• will work towards a semi-staged performance in the final session for an invited audience

This is an excellent opportunity to work on an entire play from start to finish and to gain a wide-ranging practical understanding of the rehearsal and performance process.

Please consult the Frequently Asked Questions section on the course page.
