Overview
Whether you want to advance your acting skills to tackle a Shakespearian text or take your skills to new levels, this focussed and practical-based Acting and Creating Theatre (Stage 2) course at the Arts University Bournemouth will provide you with the applied skills to approach either or both of these.
What you will learn
You will explore various ways to develop an idea, from improvisation, writing techniques and physical theatre. All staying true to the techniques you shall be taught to help dissolve habitual defences to become free, instinctual and a playful actor with the aim of being able to be completely ‘in the moment’ when you perform.
You will explore and examine ways to dissect, understand and play it, whilst being reminded of key approaches to acting and how to apply the techniques. You will then go on to look at different approaches to creating your own work. Starting with a theme, idea or character – exploring different mediums and developing it into the most fitting – be it a comedy sketch show, immersive theatre piece, radio play or musical.
As the course progresses you will continue to develop your own work to present or focus on advancing your acting skills further to perform a Shakespeare monologue or scene.
