The Course: Working under the supportive direction of an experienced screen actor and lecturer you will develop, through a variety of workshop acting exercises, techniques and technical skills including relaxation, focus, concentration, hitting your mark, body language, cheating the camera, eye-lines, taking direction, blocking, and working practically in front of the camera. The course will involve working through short scenes while exploring and building a character.
