Summer School 2011

Our Annual Summer School returns by popular demand

Adult Summer Programme

An opportunity to take your acting skills to the next level.

Our annual Summer School offers the choice of four intensive week long training courses. Each course runs from Monday to Friday 10am to 5pm, culminating in an evening performance in front of an invited audience on the final Friday. You can choose to participate in just one, two or all three (fee discounts apply). This year we are offering four areas of study; Acting for Camera, Stanislavski, Text and Shakespeare. Working as a small ensemble company, you will participate in 10 three hour sessions which will include 2 sessions each of Voice and Movement.

The actors are encouraged to invite two guests each to attend the final night's performances and see the results of the week's work. This will be followed by a relaxed feedback session where participants, audience and tutors can discuss the work over drinks.

Some feedback from Summer School 2010:
"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
