About Screen Acting – Short Course, Summer School - at Catalyst - Institute for Creative Arts and Technology

Learn the fundamentals of performing for camera. Discover, develop and hone your fledgling acting skills through practical, confidence-boosting learning experiences facilitated by expert tutors and industry professionals.

This high-energy short course is designed for beginners and budding actors eager to play and experiment with their own bodies and their acting abilities. Leave your history books and written essays behind and get ready for four weeks in front of the camera. This is a contemporary acting course made for the increasingly ubiquitous screen.

Walk away with new expectations of your capabilities and videos of the work you've done to share with others. By the end of the course, you’ll have the basic skills, knowledge and confidence that you need to audition and play a role on camera. 

From getting to grips with how to analyse, break down and work with a script to honing in on a variety of camera acting techniques. From delving into techniques to portray a character to presenting and filming a dialogue scene. You will come out of the four weeks with the fuel to forward your creative journey.
