Synopsis

Movement classes are designed to build fitness and flexibility, refine balance and control, increase the actor's movement vocabulary as well as to introduce specialised movement and/or dance styles. Work on characterisation through movement is also developed in group workshops. Voice classes develop and consolidate the principles and techniques underlying voice production and speech for the actor in live performance. Ear-training is carried out through listening and analysis of live and recorded verse, poetry and dramatic texts. Speech characterisation is addressed through the study of dialects of English and foreign accents. Singing classes continue. Stage Combat classes commence.
