$250 per person for five sessions

Know a little bit about acting but feeling unsure? Wish you had a few tools to help when you get really nervous?

This course is for those who have done some acting and are hungry to learn a bit more. Over 5 weeks we will look at a few techniques and get lots of practice on the floor so you can feel more confident at your next rehearsal or smash your next audition. 

Often theatre and acting can have an over-reliance on instinct and subjective opinion. Actors can get a bit lost when this happens. How do you know when you are doing the ‘right’ thing? Where do you even begin? Having some technique to ground you is a great way to increase confidence and also take ownership of your own acting work. 

Course Content

Week 1 – Voice and movement - your instrument

Week 2 – Object exercises - what should I be thinking?

Week 3 – Stagecraft tricks - what should I be doing? 

Week 4 – Smashing auditions

Week 5 - Bringing it all together

LOCATION

The Mill Theatre is in Building 3.3, the Screencraft and KeepCo building which is a short walk from Capital Brewing. There are two easy ways to approach the Theatre:

PARK in P3 at the back of the precinct. From there you will see building 3.3 which has a large Screencraft sign. The public entrance is just up from that sign (not underneath it!). Once inside, walk about 5 metres and the theatre is to the right, next to Mojo Guitars.

WALK from Capital Brewing or the Less sculpture into the KeepCo building, pass Ramen Daddy and at the end of the corridor we are on the left. 

PARKING

All parking in the precinct is free with several accessible parking spots in all the parking locations. The best spot to park is P3 at the back of the precinct. If you park elsewhere please be warned that signage and way-finding around the precinct is extremely difficult. Arrive in plenty of time to possibly get lost, possibly be in a bad mood!
