Language
The course alternates between Swedish and English according to the group's wishes and needs.
Prerequisite skills
This course is ideal for those with little or no acting experience, providing the chance to explore acting techniques in a playful and practical way, while having fun and learning to be part of an ensemble. If you haven’t been on stage since school, or have always held a secret dramatic desire, this course is the ideal place for you to give acting a go.
Goal
The goal of the course is for the students to experience and discover a living awareness of the human body and voice as expressive instruments, the joy of working in a group and the strength that comes from discovering new things about yourself.
Course description
Using a combination of improvisational and Stanislavsky technique, the teacher will pull out your strengths and push you to places that will surprise you!
The course will also be valuable for developing life skills, irrespective of whether you want to pursue acting in a sustained way, amateur or professional. Just the simple act of getting up in front of people each week and trying out something new teaches you a lot about yourself and how you relate to people. It hopefully enables you to strengthen those areas you feel are weak, and re-discovers talents that have been asleep for a while!
Continuation possibilities
After this course, continuation courses are available where you can further develop your skills. Please, talk to your teacher about which course is recommended for you.
