About Edinburgh: Foundation in Screen Acting Intensive

Listed Under Workshops Events / Arts and Crafts Events / Learning Events

The Foundation in Screen Acting Intensive is a five day course designed to explore the essential skills required for working as an actor in the world of Film and TV. This immersive course offers industry based talent development rooted in character-led storytelling. The course content features our unique training programme which blends the teachings of Michael Chekhov, Meisner and our own practice in a onscreen context. The programme will explore essential onscreen disciplines: script and story analysis, character in performance, onscreen methods and techniques, audition preparation, and employability in screen business.

Our completely bespoke training scheme has been carefully developed by our team of industry professionals to offer a vocational experience like no other. We offer a rounded and varied approach to embodying the work, reflecting the demands and challenges of the working industry. You can expect to work on a variety of texts from popular TV soaps to Harold Pinter. We work with a maximum of six students per course to ensure that you get the dedicated and personalised tuition and onscreen time you deserve.

You will be given daily opportunities to put your newfound skill set into practice, shooting a plethora of scenes on our Netflix approved equipment. The footage we produce in class is then made available for you to watch in both group sessions and at home. Constructively reviewing footage proves a valuable learning tool, particularly when comparing performances from the beginning and end of the course.

This a professional development course suitable for adults only. Previous students have gone on to work professionally on screen, secure agent representation, successfully gain places at some of the UK's leading drama schools, and receive Spotlight accreditation.

You will be required to complete preparation work at home outside of the sessions. Please be aware that actor training by its very nature can involve exercises and exploration that some students may find challenging.
