AN ONLINE ACTING COURSE ON HOW TO PORTRAY REALISTIC RELATIONSHIPS ON SCREEN AND STAGE Stories are always about people in relationships. Werther they involve real human beings, inanimate objects or ideas, characters in film and theatre are either motivated or hindered by people and things they have some kind of relationship with. Skilled actors are able to ’embody’ relationships convincingly and genuinely. Their interactions with their co-stars are richly layered and nuanced – much like our relationships are in real life. ‘What’, they do and ‘how’, they do things with each other reveals specificity in the relationships they are depicting. This specificity is so important in performance that sometimes it may be a major reason why a particular actor is chosen for a certain part.  As an audience member you may have experienced how powerful relationships work is. You many have found yourself walking away from a performance, saying that the lead actors had ‘chemistry’ with each other – or, that they did not. Despite how key relationships work is, actors are rarely taught how to do it exclusively. As a result, actors feel uncertain about how to properly ‘get into’ or embody a particular relationship. This course has been designed for exactly this purpose!   TRAINING ESPECIALLY TO DO RELATIONSHIP WORK Part theory, part practice, the course will introduce you to practical tools you can use right now to elevate your auditions and acting performances. The first part of the course focuses on equipping you with tools you need to recognise relationships in script work. The second part of the course is purely practical. Through a set of exercises you’ll learn how to embody different relationships convincingly. Or said differently, how to be truthfully ‘in them’ during your performance.

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.

AN ONLINE COURSE ON SCRIPT ANALYSIS DEMYSTIFY SCRIPT BREAKDOWNS Breaking down scripts can feel arduous for most actors. Script analysis often feels like a piece of homework. It makes total sense then that actors don’t really feel like doing it much. The thing is, the script is the singular most important document for everyone working on a film project. Ranging from the producers and financiers to the production assistants and the people building the set, the script is central in the proper execution of the film project. So you as an actor, really have no choice. And why is it anyway that so many actors feel either a sense of dread, panic or boredom when it comes to working with it? The answer, it seems, is that many actors are not taught how to work with texts in order to glean from them what they need. Heard of objectives, super objectives and intentions? Confused about where to find them and how to understand them? Feeling stuck and overwhelmed when told to come up with a character’s ‘backstory’? Or do you feel unsure about what the other characters in the story may mean to one particular character? What if you were to find out that most of the above is in fact not needed. What if you were told that there was a way you could uncover a great heap of the vital information you needed to play a character just by reading the text differently? This course aims to do just that. Simply put, to teach you to read scripts as if they were blue-prints and not merely stories. In this way you have access to maximum information about who your character is; information that you most likely previously would not even have noticed. GAIN MASTERY OVER SCRIPT ANALYSIS In this course we focus on screenplays and get to work on scripts from a variety of films you have most likely watched and enjoyed. The first few weeks focus of the Script Analysis Course deliver to you our powerful scene breakdown method. In the weeks that follow, we practice analysing scripts from different genres and styles giving you great insight into the writer’s own mind. Through vibrant class discussions, engaging homework tasks and the tutor’s feedback, you’ll come to see the script as a place for possibilities, imagination and pure artistry. COURSE REQUIREMENTS * There are no prerequisites for joining this Course! * BEGINNING ACTORS: Benefit from a powerful script breakdown technique that is not only straight forward and intuitive, but also highly effective and efficient. * INTERMEDIATE & EXPERIENCED ACTORS: If feel yourself stuck and bogged down by too many instructions, too many methods and want a practical super helpful new way to think about text, then this highly recommended for your level.
