ONLINE SCREEN ACTING COURSE GREAT ON-SCREEN PERFORMANCES LEAVE THEIR MARK IN OUR MEMORIES. SOME PERFORMANCES EVEN BECOME ICONIC.  Here at the Studio, we’ve brought knowledge gained across producing, writing, directing and coaching to bear on the question of how to do great, memorable screen acting performances. We’ve discovered that it comes down to the actor’s ownership of the character. Indeed, when we think of memorable or iconic screen performances we find it difficult to separate the actor from the character. There is a sense in which the character becomes the character. Or another way of thinking about it, the actor owns the character. The skill of becoming or owning the character is even harder on screen than it is on stage. On stage, performances rely heavily on the actor’s skill in voice and movement – as well of course their ability to use emotions the way they are supposed to. Mastery over physicality, voice and emotion is often what makes the stage actor memorable in a role. But if the stage actor relies on voice and movement primarily, what does the screen actor need to hold onto to elevate their on screen characters? How does ‘becoming the character’ look like for the actor working on screen? This course is a first step into helping you create memorable characters on screen – character performances you own. Over the course of the 5 weeks, the Online Screen Acting Course will deliver key insights into how to do screen acting the most powerful but also, most efficient way. Key to our practice will be teaching you how to read scripts deeply and helping you see how you can search the text for clues into characterisation that may lie under the surface. In the final weeks of the course, students will learn how to make confident choices, take the risk of committing to some choices while at the same time remaining flexible enough to change, adapt and adjust their performances in line with the casting director notes or the director’s requirements. Take the first step into learning screen acting technique the powerful, intuitive but yet also easy way. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COURSE REQUIREMENTS * INTERMEDIATE ACTORS WELCOME: To join the course you will need at least intermediate acting skills. Good script analysis skills are presumed. * BEGINNING ACTORS: Consider doing the Script Analysis Course. You will benefit much more from this course if you are well equipped with sound script analysis skills. * EXPERIENCED ACTORS:  This course is recommend for you! Elevate existing acting skills. Key Points * SMALL GROUP (MAX 10 PEOPLE) TO POWER LEARNING * SESSIONS CONDUCTED LIVE OVER GOOGLE * CLASSES AVAILABLE TO WATCH BACK WHILE THE COURSE IS RUNNING * 50% THEORY, 50% PRACTICE/HOMEWORK PLAYBACK LEARNING OUTCOMES * Gained an understanding of how to use the camera for maximum effect * Practiced on-camera Building Character exercises * Learnt useful tools to control facial expressions conveying nuance and specificity * Practiced useful techniques to direct emotional delivery and behaviour * Discovered exercises to strengthen Fay Beck's principle of the 'Outside-in/Inside-Out Perspective' COURSE TERMS MAY 25TH – JUNE 22ND 2024 5 Consecutive SATURDAYS Join us from any timezone around the world.

WHAT TYPE OF GROUP IS THIS? I provide healing to clients in a group, hosted in my studio in St Neots. These sessions were originally started in 2014, and ran for several years. I have decided to offer them again, as I feel that people need support in general. The healing rebalances the heart chakra, helps a person to feel grounded and safe, and releases tension and anxiety. These healing protocols are a small part of the full advanced frequency healing modality. Clients receive the healing seated, rather than laying flat on a couch.  This helps me to see the areas that require attention.  I have space for 4 clients in each session. This currently runs on a Sunday morning, starting at 11.00am and lasting approximately 60-90 minutes.  It is important that you wear comfortable clothing, in layers to allow for the change of temperature in my studio.  Please bring water to drink.  I have toilet facilities and parking is unrestricted along my street, though I do ask that you respect my neighbours by parking safely and keeping noise to a minimum. For you to join I will require your full name, date of birth and email.  This helps me to tune into your energy system and also send you any further information if necessary.  All your personal information is completely confidential and never shared without your permission. You can book in advance and pay online, or pay cash on the day, though I will need to speak to you if you have not attended before.   IMPORTANT INFORMATION * If you prefer to pay by cash, you can book by ringing me.  Please bring the right amount with you and please book in at least 3 days before the day you wish to attend.  * If you have booked by phone and are unable to attend, please let me know immediately so I can offer a space to someone else.  It is very important that you let me know whether you can attend or not because it helps me to run my business effectively and means that you are acting in a consistent and honest way.  * If you have booked online and cannot attend I will move you to the next session, or you can offer your slot to someone else, or I can run the session on you by distance.
