LAMDA's Actor Refresh courses have no 'product' other than the vitally important task of reconnecting with the joy of acting.
In the day-to-day hustle of being a jobbing actor it is so easy to lose sight of your love of acting, and these courses seek to redress this. Where many workshops aimed at professional actors are industry-focused, taking part in an Actor Refresh course is a radical opportunity to simply act.
