The Lir Academy - Acting Summer Intensives - Levels 1 & 2

Overview

Overview

These 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, Level 1 is a workshop-based course taught over one week. The course will cover key elements of actor training including Voice, Movement and Improvisation. It will also introduce participants to contemporary play texts to hone your craft. These workshops act as both a taste of drama school training and as a broad and basic introduction to the craft of acting.

In Level 2, participants will call upon their learnings from the Acting Level 1 course to fully explore and develop character behaviours and traits. By the end of the course, each person will possess the skills to better express and portray themselves in the characters within the chosen play.

Students will work closely as a team not only with each other but with a director, movement coach, and voice coach.

Character analysis, character development and scene study will form the basis of this course, during which time participants will have the opportunity to really get to know the characters and discover how to portray them truthfully.

Date, Time and Place

These courses run for one week during the summer at the Lir, National Academy of Dramatic Art, Trinity Technology and Enterprise Campus, Pearse Street at Grand Canal Quay, Dublin 2.
