Online course in acting
Now anyone who wants to can take an acting course with us online!
We live in a time when we see more actors every week than at any time in history - in TV shows, movies and in the theater. And our theater schools receive an incredible number of applications every year. But what is acting? How do you do it? What are all those actors doing?
This course is an attempt to answer those questions and a few more and, above all, provide an in-depth introduction to the art and craft of acting.
What will the course cover?
We will identify some of the actor's most basic challenges and provide ideas on how to meet them. We will introduce some basic principles and concepts and review a number of terms that help us study and talk about acting. And perhaps most importantly, we will try to present a positive and sustainable approach to your art and creativity.
In practical terms, you will be given tools to analyse a scene and extract the information you need as an actor, you will learn to work in a way that focuses on your co-star and on concrete actions rather than on yourself, and you will get to apply what you learn during the course to your own work on a role.
Who is the course for?
This course is aimed at anyone interested in the art and craft of acting - acting students, those who might want to become acting students, professionals who want to review the basics of their craft, or anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the actor's creative process.
How does the course work?
Introduction to Acting is one of the university's MOOCs, a Massive Open Online Course, which means that it is a free digital course that is open to everyone and starts whenever you want. The course consists of films, articles and exercises that you work through at your own pace.
