    REGULAR ACTING CLASSES FOR OUR COMMUNITY

    A weekly acting class for adults.

    During the course you will develop performance skills, explore scripts by celebrated playwrights and discover the approaches of renowned theatre practitioners.

    Acting Lab is a fun, engaging and safe place to develop your confidence, challenge and extend your performance skills, learn with others and become part of a community of like minded acting labbers!

    You will:

    • Learn a new vocabulary for acting and drama.
    • Develop key skills in listening, connecting, improvising and using your body and voice expressively.
    • Experience being part of an ensemble; developing your theatrical sensitivity and collaboration skills.
    • Sharpen your ability to analyse plays, understanding what makes drama dramatic, and gain a new insight into the processes of acting and performance which will enhance and illuminate the ways in which you watch theatre.

    The AL curriculum spans a year (September – July) and is made up of three twelve week terms:

    Term 1: Shakespeare and Poetic Text (September – December)

    Term 2: Modern and Contemporary Classics (January – April)

    Term 3: Comedy and Contemporary (May – July)

    Each term explores the various skills, approaches and techniques associated with each genre and then introduces a play(s) to explore, practice and consolidate skills throughout the term. Plays are announced before the start of each term to allow participants time and space to get to know the play and enrich their learning.

    Informal performances are often organised at the end of term as a chance for both AL groups to come together, share work and celebrate!
