STAR SCHOOLS Open Days
STAR SCHOOLS will be running a number of free Open Days in Portsmouth prior to launch to give potential STAR SCHOOLS students the chance to see what enrolling with the workshops will involve.
These intensive Open Days introduce participants to the various skills and screen techniques that actors must master if they are to make effective screen-acting performances.
In the Open Day workshops we cover the following components:
- Letting yourself go
- Conflict: the basis of drama
- How audiences read the screen
- Screen reactions
- Screen distances
- Screen physicality
- Behaviourism
Participants work with a number of TV drama scripts on camera to see for themselves how powerful they are as a screen actor and where they need to develop their technique. All scripts are sent to participants in advance.
Read here what pilot Open Day attendees have said about the experience:
The Open Day was very well run and useful for anyone interested in getting into this side of the industry.
A fun and interesting open day, which focuses on team work and offers a hands on approach to learning TV acting.
- Genevieve, Cambridge (via Shooting People)
Very interesting, a great experience: there's nothing else quite like this!
A rewarding experience. Any nerves or doubts before arriving are quickly dissolved by the warm and down to earth
workshop personnel who make you feel like family.
