If you are over 18 and have always wanted to act, but you're not sure whether you have the talent, or the nerve to give it a go, then this course will probably be exactly what you're looking for. The emphasis is on plenty of practical work, with lots of useable advice, tips and feedback throughout the weeks. We'll work with and without text, help you loose your self-consciousness and awkwardness, build your dramatic awareness and work to uncover your innate creativity. You don't need any previous acting experience, just enthusiasm and willingness to learn new skills. Email us to enroll or if you want to find out more.

This course is suitable for anyone over 18 who already has some acting experience.
