Acting Skills for Everyday Life
Tutor: Rachel Blackman
Join this course and Rachel will introduce you to some easily-learnt acting skills and show you tools for moving beyond your everyday personality. You will have a chance to rediscover physical playfulness and curiosity, and learn to enjoy the audience’s attention. In the final two weeks, you will create a small performance for your classmates using material drawn from your own experience or from a chosen script. No previous experience of acting is necessary.
