The Core Training is a transformative part-time acting course, inspired by the principles of The Meisner Technique. Over 12 months, actors are introduced to progressively complex and sophisticated improvisational exercises:
-
Exploring the power of your imagination and the ability to craft dynamic and purposeful 'circumstances' that allow you to act without effort and tension.
-
To fully surrender to all parts of yourself so that you can go deeper into what it means to be free and truthful on stage, set... and in life.
-
To become impulsive and spontaneous actors, adept at improvisation and confident working in any working scenario, audition or rehearsal process.
-
To explore scene-work in a way that is free from the constraints of 'ideas' or concerns about 'text'
Actors suffer from having their attention on themselves. In this state, they wait for cues, plan their responses, push for emotion and indicate. Our training aims to alleviate these issues so actors develop an ability to express themselves responsively to their imagination, other actors and the demands of text.
The Core Training also includes extensive Voice and Movement training to support the free use of the actors instrument.
By the end of the Core training actors will possess a reliable and fulfilling way of acting fearlessly with ease, depth and clarity that will prepare you for life as a professional working actor and our Advanced Training.
