How To Act: On Camera (10am-1:30pm 5-9 January, Hackney Showroom)
How To Act: On Camera is a five-day intensive for working actors looking to develop their screen acting and get comfortable on camera.
Across five half-day sessions, you’ll work in a focused, workshop environment with professional camera equipment. Each day centres on a new scene, giving you the space to properly apply, test and deepen the tools introduced at How To Act: Boot Camp through sustained, practical work.
This is not about creating showreel material. The focus is on craft. On experimenting, refining and developing the level of precision required to achieve excellence on screen. You’ll interrogate and adjust your work in real time, building a sharper understanding of what actually translates on camera and why. Expect direct, detailed direction, and the space to take risks, make bold choices and sharpen your instincts under pressure.
Day 1 - The Camera & You
Get comfortable on camera through practical exercises that help you understand your natural presence and how it translates to screen.
Day 2 - Textual Analysis
Develop practical approaches to breaking down screen material, making playable choices and translating what’s on the page into truthful performance.
Day 3 - Drama
Put your screen acting toolkit into practice with dramatic material, exploring connection, listening, intention and emotional truth through detailed direction.
Day 4 - Comedy
Explore the demands of comedy on camera, experimenting with timing, rhythm, listening and restraint to make bold choices without pushing for the joke.
Day 5 - Genre
Explore how different genres change your approach to performance, working with tone, stakes, physicality and precision across different screen worlds.
To participate you must be over eighteen and have at least one professional acting credit. Classes are limited to twelve actors. All bookings are non-refundable and non-transferable.
