About this Event
An intensive course covering the essential elements of an actor's training, with the Acting Coach Clare Davidson.
Text, scene work and improvisation are explored, along with physical and vocal exercises which will develop the body and the voice, enabling increased emotional and creative freedom. This consolidates an actor's technique, and will increase confidence.
Open to established performers needing a refresher, and beginners eager to develop their full potential.
