Theatre course - Oscar Wilde
Audio and stage acting course in The Hague! Weekly sessions from February until June. Trial sessions on February 4th and 11th. Final shows on June 14th!
Join us for weekly 2-hour rehearsals, where we bring to life this witty and elegant play about politics, power and corruption - by one of the most famous playwrights of the 19th century. This 15-week course will cover two terms — in the first term, we’ll analyse the characters, experiment with acting techniques and then record the play as a professional-level audio drama — while in the second term, we’ll prepare the play for a live theatre performance, so that you have the opportunity to enjoy both audio and live stage experiences. So join us every Wednesday night, where the experienced professional actor and director, Sarah Blake, will guide you through rehearsals and teach you the professional acting techniques that will help your performance to shine!
Trial sessions
In order to complete the group, there will be a trial session on Wednesday 4th and 11th February at Pandora Studio. Join us and see whether this production is something for you! This is a great opportunity to taste the experience of an acting lesson and meet your future colleagues. If after the trial session you would like to join the group, you can enrol to our 15 sessions production! The course will have a maximum of 10 participants.
