Throughout your training, you are guided towards the development of a clear set of individual technical skills, as well as important critical and evaluative skills. You have specific practical skills-based classes in voice, acting, physical acting, singing, dance, movement, stage combat and contextual studies. Your imagination is developed through play, improvisation, games, exercises, scene work, sensory exploration and project rehearsals. Work is shown to the School at the end of each term. The preparation for screen acting and the film projects explore the unique and individual processes of acting for camera and fully prepare you for successful entry into the contemporary world of recorded media. Guildford School of Acting (GSA) training draws primarily on the teaching and practices of Stanislavski and Lecoq, as well as the work of Mike Alfreds, Uta Hagen, Sanford Meisner and Michael Chekhov. This ensemble training offers support and stimulation within the rehearsal room, but also encourages a shared language and enables the actor to enter a world that is bigger than their own - one that is created and developed with humility, imagination and generosity, within a company, and then offered to an audience with precision and conviction. Professional development classes and workshops, with guest speakers and lecturers drawn from the contemporary performing arts industry, ensure currency within your chosen field and enable you to maximise all employment opportunities. A final showcase presentation in a West End theatre, to invited agents and industry guests, completes your transition from student to professional performer.
