SINGING

Always wanted to let loose and sing? This course allows you to be comfortable with singing in front of people, whilst releasing your voice and your energy so the emotion and ideas of the song flow naturally and easily. The course involves: exploring the fundamental components of singing-both in a group or soloist, including breath, pitch, rhythm, imagination and story-telling and; delving into the process of choosing repertoire and preparation of a song for performances. This is a unique opportunity to work with two specialist educators/ musicians. Lisa Schouw is simply superb at setting the right atmosphere for this class and for each and every student to flourish. This course caters for singers and actors, from beginners to those who wish to extend their skill base.

CAMERA 101

CAMERA 101 looks at the essential difference between the skills required for a compelling screen performance compared to and separate from a stage performance. The participants will develop confidence in front of a camera by exploring the film actors’ process and the very specific requirements and skills required for a dynamic screen performance. These apply equally to film and television drama. Participants will watch back and witness both their own plus their classmates’ performances. They will leave with not just concepts but definite tools and documented experiences to take with them to the next level of screen performance.
