Overview
The intensive, three-day* Acting for Camera short course has been designed as a practical introduction to the craft of screen acting. Whether you act as a hobby or are considering full-time conservatoire training, the programme will support you in your development as a performer. Over the three days, you will learn skills and techniques to produce believable work in front of a camera.
Bristol Old Vic Theatre School offers a fun and nurturing environment in which to pursue your creative ambitions. The support and feedback available from your tutor will help you develop your natural talents and confidence in theatre acting.

If you have already signed up for the five-day course and still wish to attend, we can offer you a refund for the difference in price between the five-day and three-day courses.
