The Foundation in Acting Course is a 5 week taster training Program Orienting new students to the technique we teach.It is designed to introduce students to the Beck Emotional Access Technique and to lay the right foundations for further study into the Acting Courses we offer at the studio.
Foundations
in Acting Short Course
Over the duration of the Foundations Course, students will be challenged to take the first steps into accessing emotional truth. Each lesson we work through exercises and tasks designed to progressively get attendees working from new places, outside their comfort zone. Importantly, through the cornerstone exercise of the Repetition exercise students learn how to connect with the other actor – a skill necessary for giving powerful performances on screen and stage.
Students are also taught how to apply the Repetition exercise to text. Using Fay Beck’s powerful script and text analysis method, students will be increasingly able to access truthful emotions and behaviours, bringing realism to their performance, even at the very early stages of their training.
The last part of the course introduces actors to Screen Acting. Attendees will have the opportunity to jump in front of the camera for taster camera acting sessions.
At the completion of the course, students will be able to apply the practical acting skills they have begun to learn almost immediately in their acting.The Foundations courses run throughout the year and are subject to demand.
