Acting: The Play (online)

Central is excited to have specially re-purposed its Acting: The Play short course for online provision.

Course Overview

Work with a professional theatre director to rehearse and perform a contemporary play on Zoom. Over the four weeks, you will have the opportunity to work on a play from start to finish and gain a wide-ranging practical understanding of current trends in online rehearsal and theatrical performance.  

In a friendly and supportive environment, you will:

• gain a practical understanding of current rehearsal processes that incorporate technology in the absence of face-to-face practice
• be cast in a speaking role
• explore text analysis, character development, taking direction and ensemble storytelling
• give a semi-staged performance on Zoom in the final session for an invited audience

This course is for:

• anyone who has completed our other evening courses Acting - An Introduction and Acting – Working with Text (online or face-to-face) and wants to move to the next level
• those who have completed similar level acting classes elsewhere
• those who have some experience in acting, and want to put the scene-study skills that they have learned into practice on a single, extended piece of work.
