Content
Through practical workshops students will develop the essential skills required for acting and public presentation at a foundation level with specific focus on presence, impulse, energy and imagination. Through the practical application and analysis of two core actor-training methods, particular focus will be placed on questions of the boundaries between self and character, truth and fiction, text and subtext, as well as outside-in versus inside-out methods of constructing a role.
