Term 1 – 15 February to 4 AprilCreating Character/StagecraftParticipants will be introduced to the fundamental acting theories and techniques of some of theatre’s most well-known practitioners, including Stanislavski, Uta Hagen and Stella Adler.
With an emphasis on creating a true sense of ensemble and collaboration, understanding the stage and how the playing space can be used physically, participants will harness their ability to connect with other actors creatively and tell stories effectively and with newfound freedom.
All of this will be explored and harnessed through various techniques and exercises, through which participants will find new heights in their work, discover ways to overcome creative blocks and to establish more freedom and confidence as a collaborative artist and communicator.
Through the use of creating character, the ensemble will focus on establishing the given circumstances of a scene, using various acting styles and techniques to explore text, and will then progress to reading and analysing monologues and scenes together and performing them on stage.
At the conclusion of the term, students will be able to apply basic acting and script analysis techniques to research and devise any character that comes their way.
This will also culminate with material having been fully rehearsed and memorised by the completion of the term, should it be required for future use.
