Advanced Actors Workshop
Term Classes 8 weeks
Brave Studios’ Advanced Actors Workshop provides advanced acting classes for professional actors and advanced-level graduates. These Advanced Acting classes run weekly, challenging acting students to keep skills active and fresh.
Students will be working with many diverse, demanding and challenging scenes. Your Acting coach will direct and challenge you to find your truth in the scene, get rid of any obstacles in the way and make sure you are always fighting for what you want.
This is an advanced acting course for the more experienced actor wanting to meet with his/her blocks and/or limitations, get out of their comfort zone and who are determined to overcome and gain a deeper knowledge into themselves and their craft. By participating in the Advanced Actors Workshop, actors are given the platform and skills to let go and trust themselves to dive even further into their truth.
We are proud to have Damian Walshe-Howling teaching at Brave Studios. Damian brings with him a wealth of knowledge in both directing and acting in major Australian television series such as Underbelly & Janet King.
In the final week, you will have the chance to test your skills in a workshop with one of Australia’s top Casting Directors.
Previous casting directors have been Lou Mitchell from Maura Fay Casting, Rosie Traynor from Chameleon Casting and Jane Norris from Jane Norris Casting. This is an exciting opportunity for you to gain straight feedback on your auditions, and feel more comfortable in the room to nail your next casting!
