WAAPA Foundation Course.
Fri, 6 Feb 2009, 07:14 pmHi Everyone :).
This year I am realy interesting in taking part of the WAAPA Foundation Course.
It goes for 10 weeks and you go there every Saturday for four hours, they have done it for a few years.
I was wondering if it is worth taking, and if anyone out there has taken it?
Keep in mind I am 15 years old!
I have very serious about acting, so I won't be some stupid immuture kid in the class,
But I'm still scared that people will think I'm weird, or not good enough.
Thanks!

No worries 1) The course

1) The course was split into two parts - 7 weeks of acting for the stage and 3 of acting for camera. The first part covered a lot of topics - how to warm up effectively, monologue preparation, scene work, improvisation, character development etc. We were also put into pairs and given a scene to work on and present at the end of the course. In the second part we were taught on-set protocol, sticking to marks, portraying emotions and thought processes truthfully and so on, culminating with us preparing and performing a monologue for the camera.
2) There were about 15 in our class and we all worked together as a group, except of course when we went off to rehearse partner work or monologues.
