Join multitalented actor, soprano and stage manager, Ursula Searle, in two Spark Sessions on Acting 101 and Acting for Stage and Screen!

Acting 101
1-3pm, Wed 27 July

Acting for Stage and Screen
1-3pm, Thu 28 July

We know actors as the ones who get on stage and tell a story. But there’s so much more to acting than meets the eye.

Acting 101 will explore the acting fundamentals, including acting craft, and dissecting a piece of text.

Acting for Stage and Screen is a continuation of Acting 101, and will explore the various ways to adapt performance styles for different audiences, whether they are many rows back in a theatre, or existing in a camera lens.
