Summer 2012
Intensive week-long courses in professional acting, especially designed to sharpen and broaden your acting techniques. During our week-long summer courses we will help you to improve your basic tools of acting. Morning sessions concentrate on basic acting skills, and afternoons will work on play texts.
Teaching staff are drawn from the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and professional actors. These courses are suitable for those aged 17 and above, who have some prior acting experience, and/ or those wishing to pursue their interest in the acting profession. There are no qualifications offered on these courses; a certificate of attendance will be presented on the final day. (Attendance on any of these courses does not constitute an offer onto the School's full time HE courses).
EACH 5 DAY COURSE IS £450 PER WEEK.
If you buy the Modern and Classical in July together you can save £50 and have both weeks for £425 each making a total of £850 for both weeks.
If you wish to book for any of these dates then we would need a 25% non refundable deposit due within 10 days of being accepted onto the course.
Although the course is non-residential accommodation details can be supplied, please contact marchia.abokie@oldvic.ac.uk for further information.
