ACT South West introduces Actors and NON-Actors, Beginners and Advanced, to some revolutionary new ACTING games (a system called ART14)- ideal for exploring the extremes of our personal identity and revealing the unique qualities, which lie behind the many masks we wear. An inspiring Adult Playground where you can rediscover your creative SELF!
COMING SOON!
NEW BEGINNER COURSE
JANUARY
12th - APRIL 20th 2009
14 wks every Monday 6.30 - 9.30pm
Bogan House, Totnes, Devon.
£15 per session (£195 if you pay all 14 sessions in advance).
Absolutely no experience is neccessary - only a wish to give it a go and find something that you always knew you had in you. Beginner Courses operate on TWO LEVELS: They introduce you to BASIC ACTING SKILLS (if you want to dip your toes into the profession) but also to new LIFE SKILLS that help you master fear of failure and think on your feet (Improvisation), how to understand and use Body Language, enhance Memory, develop Imagination, gain Motivation for life... and much more.
Small, confidential groups - for details about enrolment and directions to the Venue CONTACT
Alternatively call Josephine directly on 01803 - 865 465

The Advanced Workouts are for Professional Performers or people who have some acting experience or who have completed a Beginner Course and are ready for more challenges.

ACT Courses utilise a unique system of training called ART14; a series of step by step techniques that help you gain confidence by exploring basic Acting Skills and fun Drama Games. Read more about the concepts behind the ART14 system click:
"ART14 takes the participant to a place at the HEART of personal expression and releases them from the internal critic, which blocks the unique SELF from shining."
Priscilla Be (English Theatre Berlin)
"One of the most obvious psychological roots of theatrical performance is that of PLAY. All mammals, especially advanced primates, like to explore the environment around them, exercise innate skills and test the limits of their own physical and mental capacities. The survival advantage of such an instinctual tendency is self-evident." Origons of Performance (Wilson 1994:17).
