About Actor Refresh Summer

Meeting twice a week for six weeks, the Actor Refresh Summer Programme will allow professional actors to reconnect with their craft and community.

The course will combine text with methods such as those from Uta Hagen, Stanislavski, Chekhov, and Laban to remind working actors of their craft.

This course has no 'product' except reconnecting with the joy of acting, which can often get lost in the day-to-day hustle of being a jobbing actor. Each week you will work on duologues or small group scenes. 

The Wednesday evening session will be held by the same practitioner each week, who will guide you through working with a text(s). The Thursday session will have a different practitioner each week, introducing you to new ideas and practices, and helping you to build your acting practice.  

About our Actor Refresh Classes 

Whether you graduated last year or ten years ago, our actor refresh courses are suitable for any actor who has graduated from a drama school or equivalent programme. 

You will revisit the practices you built at drama school, allowing you to refresh and recalibrate your understanding. 
 

In 2025, our Actor Refresh series expands to include Actor Refresh: Screen Acting and our Acting Refresh: Evenings. Access a discount if you're interested in booking for more than one theme by contacting [email protected]
