Overview
On the intermediate level Acting for Classical Text course, you will enhance your mastery over the nuances of classical text. The five days of the course will take you through the principal elements of performing classical text, including language, vocal techniques, character psychology, physicality and movement. You will also engage in hands-on scene work, applying the techniques learned to present individual monologues as well as ensemble scenes. The course culminates in a final showcase to demonstrate your skills in a supportive environment.
This course builds upon the foundational skills taught as part of the beginner level Acting for Classical Text course in April 2024. However, it is not mandatory to attend the beginner level courses prior to attending the intermediate course. We welcome individuals with a working knowledge of performing classical texts to sign up directly to this course.
Bristol Old Vic Theatre School offers a fun and nurturing environment in which to pursue your creative ambitions. The School is a world leader in acting training, and the support available from your tutors will help you develop your natural talents and confidence in acting.
