The Lir Academy’s Acting - Over 35's - courses are perfect for those who are both inquisitive about a future career in acting and those who simply want to challenge themselves by stretching their creative muscles.
Led by some of The Lir Academy’s core teachers, these workshop-based evening courses are taught over 10 weeks. Each two-and-a-half-hour session consists of a physical warm-up followed by a voice or movement/improvisation class and culminates with a 90-minute acting workshop. The course will cover key elements of actor training including Voice, Movement and Improvisation, but will also introduce participants to classical and contemporary play texts, using both scenes and monologues to hone your craft. The Level 2 course explores these further through the development of character and scene study.
These workshops act as both a taste of drama school training and as a broad and basic introduction to the craft of acting.
