The Art of Cinematic Performance

By Actors Studio

With Carolyn Pickles & Sue Dunderdale -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION Over 5 full days, train with two industry heavyweights leading from the perspective of an Actor and then Director, as you unlock the skills required to develop real and convincing characters that enable engaging and cinematic performances. Through improvisation you will develop a scene to support your work over the week as you progress through a journey of taking a performance from theatre to screen, supported by a range of immersive techniques and critical direction from the tutors. This unique course is designed for drama school graduates, those in training, and professional actors seeking to enhance their skills. Please note that this course is not suitable for beginners. MEET YOUR TUTORS CAROLYN PICKLES Actress Carolyn Pickles is an English actress of stage and screen with a career spanning over 40 years where she has led on award-winning British Drama including Broadchurch, Vera in addition to films such as Harry Potter. Working with Carolyn will give you the opportunity to tap into her experience and help maximise your chances of securing that next acting role. SUE DUNDERDALE Director Sue Dunderdale has an impressive background in the world of Theatre, Film and TV Directing. Her commitment to fostering both new talent and working with BAFTA award-winning actors underscores her versatility and dedication to the craft. Having coached and directed acclaimed actors such as Helena Bonham Carter and Clarke Peters,  Sue has worked with BAFTA-winning performers, contributing to their success on screen. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Art of Cinematic Performance As the two tutors come together mid-week, Carolyn and Sue will allocate scenes from screenplays for you to work on and film to self-critically view in the pursuit of understanding the process as an actor. In the final two days, whilst rehearsing the scenes, Sue will focus on the life within the character that creates the tension/conflict in the scene. Discovering with you that it is important to know the lines of the scene so well that they can become the least part of the work. It is what lies beneath the lines that creates the quality of the performance and makes for interest on camera. Over the 5 Days you will learn the importance of sub-text, and how it supports the written text. Through intricate analysis and breakdowns, life experience, knowledge and exterior impacts will be explored to inject life into scenes and enable real thoughts and emotions in a character. These techniques can be applied in any role, big or small and enhance your capabilities in an actor when asked to self-tape or audition, giving you a more dynamic skillset often looked for by Casting Directors. With a focus on screen, all footage filmed during the week will be available after completion for your future development.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FEATURES 5 Day Intensive Practical courseSuitable if you are (17 yrs+) and a training actor, drama school graduate or professional actorNot suitable for Beginners – see our Crash Course Beginners and 1 Day Screen Acting WorkshopAttracts a varied age range from 17 yrs+.

Speak The Speech is a regular monologue workshop that has been running at Theatre Deli since September 2017, created by Warren as a response to London's lack of affordable acting training. A typical session consists of performers presenting a monologue which is then workshopped to improve the performers' approach to content and character. The aim is not to produce the perfect monologue but to use the monologue format to enhance each performer’s skill set and develop their acting process. We generally manage to work on 5-8 pieces per session. Stretch your skills in the warmest and most welcoming space to try things out: * Refresh an audition monologue from your repertoire * Try something new with a speech * Read a monologue for the first time * Perhaps you just want to see how others approach a text. * Or maybe you have a casting coming up… There is no pressure to perform, you can just soak up the atmosphere and be part of the experience.
