The Lir Academy
Intro to Acting
Sligo Weekend Workshop
This course is designed to give you a taste of The Lir Academy's actor training programme throughout an intensive weekend.
Led by leading Lir practitioner David Scott, this course is the perfect opportunity to experience studying at The Lir Academy and what the daily routine would be like.
The Lir Academy's programmes run for three years and require complete dedication to developing the body, voice and movement - honing your craft so that you emerge an industry-ready practitioner.
The skills that our actors develop are through classes and modules that use exercises and techniques to develop the discipline and rigour physically needed, as well as the critical thinking required to approach a role.
Our classes at The Lir Academy run all day, five days a week. This weekend course aims to give participants an understanding of what that would be like under the guidance of an experienced tutor through an introduction to acting programme.
The course is suitable for all ages 16+, no experience necessary.
Content includes:
- Vocal and physical warm ups
- Ensemble play
- How to analyse a text and make interesting, detailed, dynamic choices.
