Short Acting Courses
Summer 2010 - Weeks commencing 12 July and 6 September 2010
Intensive week-long courses in professional acting, especially designed to sharpen and broaden your acting techniques. During our week-long summer courses we will help you to improve your basic tools of acting. Morning sessions concentrate on basic acting skills, and afternoons will work on play texts.
Teaching staff are drawn from the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and professional actors. These courses are suitable for those aged 17 and above, who have some prior acting experience, and/ or those wishing to pursue their interest in the acting profession.
