Performance Class Tuesdays 6:30 - 8:30 St. Andrews Church Hall with Rhona Mitchell and Ashley Forbes |
The Performance Class does character work, text work, improvisation, singing, movement. This class works towards performances of some kind. Students may be called for extra rehearsals nearer the time. This group requires a high level of commitment, in terms of line-learning and attendance at class. Entry is by interview. Obviously the students involved in the cast and backstage benefit enormously from the experience. They learn to work well within a team, and learn a discipline unique to stage work and practice. Rhona has worked with Youth Groups and Amateur Societies for 21 years now. Our shows are popular with the general public and are well supported by the local community. Many past pupils of the School, particularly when it was Glasgow based, have gone onto have careers in the dramatic arts with appearances in West End shows such as Cats, Phantom of the Opera and West Side Story as well as production and acting roles in film, theatre and television. |
