Target group and application
The course is open for those aged 18+ who has previous acting experience. For example, you might have participated in at least 3-4 course or have taken part in some amateur theatrical productions and would like to continue exploring theatrical expression by working towards a performance. Please send an email to ingela.bergstrom@folkuniversitetet.se for application/level assessment if you have not taken Beginner and Intermediate courses with us - otherwise you just enrole for the course via "Boka nu-button".
Course contents
We continue working with acting exercises, improvisations and exercises related to scripts and roles. At this course level, based on the group’s prior knowledge and composition, we rehearse with the aim of presenting a few shorter scenes or short plays in front of an audience.
The course deepens your understanding of the relationship between script, role, plot, ensemble, and audience. By means of exercises, we work on presence, concentration, interaction, and spontaneity. We use concepts such as desire, means, turning point, conflict, and situation to clarify scripts and interpretations.
Educational format
Tuition is conducted in a small group of 5-10 participants but is to some extent individual. In some parts of the course, you watch while other course participants work, which is an important element of the course and the process. You must also be prepared to work independently to a degree between the course sessions.
Goal
The goal is for you to gain a deeper understanding of the work of an actor and of theatrical expression – and face an audience in a simple way, in a "work in progresse" performance during the last lesson.
Schedule
Tuesdays at 19:00-21:15 from September 1 to October 20. Please note that the course ends with a rehearsal and "work in progress" performance between 17:30-21:15. You will receive more information about this at the start of the course.
Continuation possibilities
You can take this course several times if you like. This will allow you to try several different roles and act in several different scenes. Each course is unique in that we work with new scripts. We also have courses on a higher level (step 4), Theater production - from script to play, and now and then other courses and workshops that for example specializes in film, which will enable you to build on your experiences.
Please talk to your course instructor or contact us if you are unsure of your level and how you should continue after this course.
