Overview

For students who have completed NIDA Acting Techniques 2 (or equivalent), this Advanced Technique delivery is designed for experienced actors seeking to deepen their understanding of performance craft and technique. Offered as a series of masterclass-style workshops, you will explore a selection of texts, allowing for an immersive and intensive learning experience. In undertaking advanced acting exercises, you will enhance your knowledge of dramatic storytelling and character development.
