Introduction To Screen Acting

About The Course.

This evening course (6 weeks online with option for additional 4 weeks in person) is the perfect introduction to all aspects of Screen Acting from technical aspects to performance. In a friendly and inspiring environment we will demystify all parts of the craft including casting, rehearsing, shooting and performance analysis. You will learn the key difference between performing for stage versus performing for camera.

ONLINE AND CLASSROOM TRAINING: As all modern devices have cameras be they phones, laptops, iPads or desktop computers, this is a perfectly complimentary medium to study and learn about screen acting online. Using the unique training methods that Bow Street uses across all its training that has opened the doors for countless actors to forge a career in the industry, we will be learning all the basic essentials of screen acting and offering a unique insight into the craft that you won’t find anywhere else online. These will be instructive workshops with the main focus on doing rather than just talking and listening. Applicants have the option to apply for just the 6 week online syllabus or the 10 week option that includes 4 weeks of in person training at Bow Street.

FEEDBACK

“To be honest I had my reservations about an online course but I found it excellent. The coaches were very good and so helpful. I got loads out of the course and self taping in particular. I would highly recommend this course.”
Mark

“We could do everything using Zoom and I’m grateful it happened during the lockdown as it kept me occupied. Honestly, every week, things were kept fresh, there was structure but the guys were more than happy to answer any questions we had. As part of a first time course I finished every week feeling great. Also the group was fantastic, everyone gelled and was respectful and supportive of each other.”
