REGULAR ACTING CLASSES FOR OUR COMMUNITY
Acting Lab is a weekly acting course 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.
