Scene Study (Autumn Term)

If you wish to practice applying your actor’s toolkit within a rehearsal situation, then this is the one for you.

Led by acting teacher Paul Harvard, this 6-week Scene Study course is suitable for everyone who has completed the Acting Fundamentals course, has had previous actor-training, or is a professional actor.

Key concepts and techniques explored will include: acting the scene as if the first time, sustaining a physical transformation, responding to redirection, responding truthfully from the perspective of the character, developing a real emotional connection – and how to work successfully in the professional rehearsal environment.

Actors trained by Collective in the last three years have gone on to work in Hollywood films, on Broadway, for the National Theatre, in the West End and in series for Netflix, HBO, BBC, ITV and Channel 4.

We are passionate about working with actors from underrepresented groups and we will always seek to break down barriers to access in professional actor-training. Scholarships are available for those who are facing challenging circumstances.
