Acting for Adults

Starting Wednesday 9 October 2019 for 10 weeks 7.30pm to 9.30pm.

During this packed 10 week course, we’re thrilled to be introducing to you a wide range of skills used by industry professionals. It’s a sneaky peak behind the curtain into the vast toolkit actors use, which will allow you to connect to character and create a skilled and truthful performance. Ironically, the course is designed to get you to NOT act, but rather to simply BE as truthful as possible in any medium of the profession. 

We’ll touch upon exciting techniques such as the Stanislavski method- the foundation of all modern acting as we know it today; Meisner technique, widely used by most, if not all, screen actors, from television to Hollywood; and delve in to a more classical approach in demystifying Shakespeare and his contemporaries; all the while striving for truth and believability, no matter the genre. 

This exciting course is suitable for those who have always wanted to act, those who are a bit rusty and to those who need to brush up on their skills.

The course is run by Aled Pedrick. Aled trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and is a professional actor, singer and theatre director.  He is a teacher on the BA Acting course at Guildhall, London Southbank University, University of Wales and other institutions across the UK.  His most recent work as an actor include S4C’s 35 Awr and Sherman Theatre’s Woof (directed by Gethin Evans), and as director, his production of Saturday Night Forever for the Welsh National Theatre was on National tour earlier this year.
