Acting 55 yrs +

First Take: Acting 55+

Always wanted to try acting? Now's your chance.

A four-week daytime acting course for adults aged 55+ who are completely new to acting, haven't acted in years, or simply fancy trying something creative and different in a room of your peers. 

You don't need any experience. You don't need to be confident. You just need to be willing to give it a go!

Over four weeks, you'll learn the foundations of acting through practical exercises, improvisation, character and scene work. We'll start gently, get you out of your head and comfortable in the room, then build week by week towards working on a proper scene with a partner.

This is a beginner course, but it's real acting training. You'll learn how to listen and respond, work with a script, make clear choices, understand what your character wants and start putting the basic craft of acting into practice.

Small numbers mean everyone gets to work, nobody gets lost in the crowd and there's plenty of room to try things without worrying about getting them right. 

Maybe you've always fancied acting. Maybe you did a bit years ago. Maybe you're just ready to try something new.

Whatever brought you here, you're very welcome!

4 weeks · Daytime · Ages 55+ · No experience necessary
