About the course
Revitalise your practice with this two week course, designed for professional actors in need of some creative TLC.
Actor Refresh: Summer Intensive is an opportunity to revist, update and enhance your technique and process as an actor. You will take part in a variety of skills classes (acting, screen, voice, movement, singing) lead by expert LAMDA tutors, and you will be nurtured and challenged at a professional level. You will also take part in audition technique classes for both stage and screen, where you will be guided to refine and personalise your preparation process and to up-level your impact in the audition room.
Additionally, participants will take part in sessions looking at skills and techniques ‘complimentary’ to the modern actor, such as reflective practice and industry resilience. You’ll also work with an experienced industry mentor to identify how you fit into the industry, and to explore how to maintain a long and creative career. You will leave the course feeling confident, refreshed and ready to do your best work.
What will I learn?
During your time on the course, you will:
- Enhance your actor’s toolkit with advanced-level professional classes in acting, screen, movement, voice and singing.
- Level-up your audition technique for stage and screen.
- Revitalise your creative practice, and explore how to optimise your industry mindset.

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.
