AN ACTOR'S CORE SKILLS 

These classes are designed to offer the core skills used in acting.

 

Whether you are looking to improve your public speaking, gain confidence or start your journey in the acting world, this is the perfect class for you. These courses are designed to explore various techniques and offer students an insight into different acting styles and their various forms. 

 

An Actor's Core Skills will run on different days, with Core Skill B on a Monday and Core Skills A on a Thursday, and with each class covering various skills. This means you can do them separately or together, and in whichever order you'd prefer. The skills on both days are different, and attending both can provide the perfect fundamental acting course to get you started.
