Online Actors Workshop – Scene Study

8 Weeks

Online Actors Workshop Scene Study course is back for another term. Due to the current circumstances, Brave Studios is adapting to help students continue to learn the craft of Acting outside of the classroom.

All classes will be conducted via Zoom. Zoom is an easy web-based video conferencing tool and a mobile app that allows users to meet online with LIVE video. We will, therefore, be able to offer our usual classes in an easy-to-use online format.

Our Teachers have been fully trained in this new platform to ensure Brave Studios continue to deliver premium courses. Our online Actors Workshop scene study course has been adapted to enhance the teachings for Online acting training.

IMPORTANT: In the event restrictions are lifted from the 26th October onwards and we are able to continue with face to face learning – we will definitely return to the classroom.

The Actors Workshop scene study course is designed to challenge students in training who are ready let go and trust the process.

This Acting course for film and TV has been developed to enable the actor in training to discover the meaning of “living truthfully under imaginary circumstances” (Stanislavski). It is designed as a scene study course for students to work through a variety of more challenging scenes. Students must have a good understanding of Script analysis in order to participate in this course and be able to let go.  Acting coaches will encourage students to trust the work is done  through script analysis and to let go and be in the moment.

As actors, being truthful in performance can be the most elusive and difficult part of our job. Being truly vulnerable and spontaneous in the work is incredibly liberating. Your Acting coach will guide you through this and focus on your moment to moment work to be present in the scene.

So much of this comes down to trust: trusting ourselves, trusting each other. Brave Studios will encourage you to do just that. By letting go and trusting yourself and the process, you will forge a path to your truth. The results are astounding.

This is not a beginner’s course. Students must be competent in Brave Studios Actors Workshop Technique course. We require you to have a thorough knowledge of script analysis. It is an acting course in film and TV for actors starting to meet with blocks or limitations.

If you require a Beginners course, please refer to our Level 1 and Level 2 course.
