Screen Acting Intensive for Teens

Our highly anticipated annual Screen Acting Intensive for Teens and young adults is a jam packed, dynamic immersive professional level course guided by Miranda Harcourt and taught by top industry practitioners. This takes place in the April Holidays and students come from across Australasia.

Using games, techniques, new skills and insights, each student will be thrust into a new world of inspiration, knowledge and craft.

The work will be based around Miranda’s Five Tools: Connection, Space, Internal Landscape, Vista, and Journey.

A variety of other globally-recognised tutors will support the workshop with foundational physical, vocal and analysis skills that are key to embodied & engaging screen work.
