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+.
