Entirely practical, challenging and fast-paced, this two-week course is ideal for students wishing to become more confident in performing classical works from Shakespeare’s Elizabethan and Jacobean periods. Combining scene study with technical classes in movement and voice, it leads to a greater understanding of the challenges involved in working with classical texts. It is taught by the same tutors who lead London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art’s (LAMDA) full-time courses, giving participants a taste of the LAMDA experience and British conservatory training. The course will be taught by Judith Phillips, head of voice LAMDA; and Vik Sivalingam, senior acting tutor LAMDA; among others.
The minimum entry age for the Playhouse Summer Acting Intensive course is 18. Acceptance into the course will be given to individuals who have some acting experience. To apply for the program, please fill out the online application form here no later than April 30, 2019 by midnight PST.
