Drama Course - the Monologue

Our Level 1 course has 8 weeks of classes followed by a weekend evening performance to family and friends at our Studio Theatre.

The course starts gently, allowing a safe place for everyone to play and explore with fun acting and drama games, trust exercises and improvisation. By second week the group begins to get much more comfortable with each other, more relaxed and spontaneous.

In week three a monologue is chosen for you from our library and the focus of the course shifts to working with the script, developing character, voice projection and taking direction. This allows you to really get “under the skin” of the character and apply your newly found confidence and creative impulses to a monologue.

Then you perform…it sounds daunting we know – but trust us! We are with you every step of the way. You can invite your family and friends to join in celebrating your achievements. Our performances are a great environment and there is nothing like the buzz of the audience’s applause.

FOCUS
Creativity, Voice & Movement, Ensemble Work, Improvisation, Imagination & Performance, Developing Performance Confidence & Script Work.

OUTCOME
At the conclusion of the course you will perform a monologue taken from a modern play to an audience of family, friends & fellow students on our Studio Theatre stage.

This class series runs for 8 consecutive weeks, at the same time each week

Level 1, 16-18 Oxford Square, Darlinghurst
