A two week intensive acting course for people at mixed levels who want to reset craft and build momentum. Clasrùm 1 is for those new to training and for returning practitioners who need structure, clarity and practice.
You will build core technique in a clear sequence: presence and breath, voice and articulation, physical readiness, focus, listening, and simple character choices. You will work daily with contemporary and classical text. You will learn a practical way to approach an unfamiliar script, read for facts, spot playable actions, and decide how to serve the moment.
We will cover movement for actors, vocal strength and ease, and the basics of building a short solo piece. You will explore tactics, status and given circumstances. Short demonstrations will show how decisions get made in rehearsal and how to test those decisions against the text and your partner.
Classes are mainly practical. Expect solo and partnered scene work, brief warm ups, timed tasks, and regular runs. Discussion and short feedback sessions support the room. You will grow your shared vocabulary for talking about performance without jargon. We reference Stanislavsky, Meisner and Lecoq only where useful and practicable.
You will finish with a short solo piece and one open studio. You will leave with notes, a reading list, and a plain plan for what to practise next. Consistent attendance is expected. Light preparation between days will help you get the most from the room.
