Course summary
This course is for those who wish to pursue a career in acting for stage and screen with focus on performance and character development. The Raindance HNC in Acting will explore certain key theories to underpin and aid performance technique, but the emphasis will always be on putting the theory into practice, through practical exercises. These will include performances of scenes and filmed extracts, leading to the production of short films and showcases. Students will build a foundation in all key concepts of acting such as Improvisation, Meisner’s, and Stanislavski’s systems, and will learn key skills in directing and producing. In addition to the option of progressing onto HND Acting where you will also benefit from numerous opportunities to audition for, and perform in, Raindance HND and MA Films, which will be screened at the Raindance Film Festival. This will give you even more time to become familiar with the realities of acting ‘on set’.
