Our Level 1 course is designed to introduce you to the basics of acting, laying a strong foundation that builds confidence and skill.
You'll learn the essential acting building blocks - developed by the renowned theatre practitioner Konstantin Stanislavski - which provide a solid technical base.
A brief introduction to improvisation will help you to tune in more attentively to your scene partner and think on your feet. Understand the key differences between stage and screen acting, while vocal training sessions will refine your voice control and projection.
You'll also discover the renowned TAL repetition exercise (developed by our founder), a powerful tool that quickly brings you to authentic moments of connection—often in surprising ways!
