ACTING OUT! – THE PATH TO EMOTIONAL FREEDOMA One-Year Foundation Course in Transformational Theatre for Adults 18+
Train. Perform. Transform.
Acting Out! is a year-long journey into acting, performance, creativity, imagination and authentic self-expression through the unique practice of Transformational Theatre.
Created and led by Christina Artemis, Director and Founder of Artemis Performance Arts, the course draws on more than 40 years of experience in theatre and personal development, alongside Christina's experience creating and directing 14 original productions.
Whether you already have acting experience or are looking for somewhere to begin, the course combines professional theatre training with movement, voice, breathwork, mythology, archetypes and creative exploration.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
Across 10 full-day workshops you will explore:
WORKSHOP 1 – RELATIONSHIPS
Explore personal relationships and family patterns and discover how an understanding of human relationships can help you bring scenes and dialogue authentically to life.
WORKSHOP 2 – MYTHS & ARCHETYPES
Discover how archetypal characteristics can provide a powerful starting point for creating and understanding a character.
WORKSHOP 3 – STAGECRAFT
Learn how to use the stage creatively, understand stage directions and technical terminology, work with entrances and exits, follow script directions and begin blocking a scene.
WORKSHOP 4 – VOCAL TECHNIQUE & BREATHING
Explore vocal technique and intercostal diaphragmatic breathing to develop breath support, tone, inflection and a voice capable of reaching an auditorium without shouting or unnecessary strain. We will also explore some of the differences between acting for stage and screen.
WORKSHOP 5 – PHYSICALISING CHARACTER
Discover how posture, movement and physical characteristics influence character. Through practical experimentation and imagination, begin developing the physical life of a role.
WORKSHOP 6 – AUTHENTIC MOVEMENT & CONTEMPORARY DANCE DRAMA
Develop strength, flexibility, physical expression and creativity through movement exercises and contemporary dance as drama.
WORKSHOP 7 – PROJECTION
Build further on your vocal training through improvisation and scenes from different theatrical genres, from classic plays and Shakespeare to contemporary work. Develop the ability to project clearly without shouting.
WORKSHOP 8 – EMOTIONS & AUTHENTIC PERFORMANCE
Explore how actors can work creatively with deeper emotions while remaining grounded in the character and the work. Conscious Connected Breathwork forms part of this exploration.
WORKSHOP 9 – STANISLAVSKI TECHNIQUES
Explore one of the foundations of modern actor training. Work with key Stanislavski principles including imagination, the "Magic If", objectives and the question: "What do I want?" to create truthful, multidimensional characters.
WORKSHOP 10 – BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER
Put the year's training into practice by working on a complete scene, bringing together characterisation, voice, movement, stagecraft, emotional truth and ensemble work, with the possibility of a small performance for family, friends and Artemis members.
WHAT MAKES ARTEMIS DIFFERENT?
Transformational Theatre brings together traditional acting, voice and movement training with Conscious Connected Breathwork, myths, archetypes, imagination and personal exploration.
The aim is not simply to learn lines, but to understand the inner and outer life of a character – their emotions, motivations, relationships, physicality and desires – and develop performances that feel truthful, connected and alive.
Throughout the course you will also work with improvisation, monologues, script and scene work, storytelling, Greek mythology, masks, characterisation and ensemble techniques.
Students may also have opportunities to become involved with Artemis Performance Arts productions, including auditioning for acting roles and gaining experience behind the scenes.
