Solihull Arts Complex

This autumn, expand your acting skillset by exploring new ways to create living, breathing characters. Most film, TV, and stage work we all love is based around clear and engaging characters, but there are many different ways to approach character work. Expand your current acting skills by using your mind, body, and voice to create and develop new characters. 

This class will explore techniques from a range of practitioners and theatre companies, giving you a wealth of tools to use when approaching new projects. Great for actors who are looking to deepen their existing practice, or for previous students on our Introduction to Acting course who are ready for their next creative step. 

In this course, you will learn to create vivid characters onstage by:

• exploring a variety of theatre styles
• developing your physical and vocal expressiveness
• working on thinking in character
• using improv and devising techniques
• playing alongside fellow actors and creative people in a fun, supportive, and engaging environment
