This 6-week course, led by Paul Harvard, is for professional-level actors. If you are looking to maintain and improve your skills between acting jobs, then this is the place for you. Entry to the group is by application – so you can be confident that in these classes you will be working with fellow actors who will challenge and inspire you – pushing you to develop and extend your technique.
