Musical Theatre: Scene into Song Monday

Students will learn the skills of acting through singing and explore characterisation through music, staging and performance. In addition to acting classes and ensemble singing, students will receive coaching in the use of their voice and repertoire learning.

Audition Technique

Screen Acting: Acting For Camera Monday
1st to Friday 5th September 2014An opportunity to explore acting for camera with an experienced industry professional. This week long course will allow participants to develop confidence and ease in performing for camera as well as covering the technical aspects of working in TV and Film. Participants will work practically as actors with cameras and sound. The Friday showing will allow for screening rough cuts and rushes from the week's work. ACT Brighton 10am-5pm. Friday screening 7pm.
Stanislavski into Shakespeare
Monday 8th to Friday 12th September 2014This is an exciting and experimental week looking at how we might apply Stanislavski's approach to Shakespeare's texts. John Barton's view on acting Shakespeare was that 'the actor must be rooted in nature' and start with the thoughts and the meaning. This week will look at how we can use some of Stanislavski's fundamental tools to unlock those thoughts and meanings. ACT Brighton 10am-5pm. Friday Performance 7pm

"The teachers were fantastic." M Vinuesa
"The exercises were great and I enjoyed the lay-out of lessons. The continuity of the course made it easy to follow" A Atkin
"ACT has given me some brilliant tools to exercise my own skills in
acting. Just the right amount of play, humour and challenge to make it
really safe as well as being challenging enough to make me expand my
capabilities. I have enjoyed every moment and would highly recommend
this work and its teachers." C Carey
