Rimu Glade Studio - acting training programme for 2012 with tutor John Goudge.
Enrolling now!
2012 marks the tenth year teaching from Rimu Glade Studio - (4 Rimu Rd Waiatarua). In that time hundreds of adults & children have learnt the craft of acting through these challenging, fun, & effective courses. I take great delight in seeing my students appear on stage or TV using the talents they have developed.
Class sizes are kept to a maximum of 12 students. Each week we progress through the craft of acting, developing our skills of voice, mind & body with 'tried & true'exercises & techniques, as well as intuitive steps honed over nearly 20 years of teaching.
All our work is directed at developing skills needed to perform on the amateur or professional stage, or in film & TV. The side-benefits include an increase in confidence, vocal clarity, & a sense of fun.

'Being an Actor' Course content:
This course concentrates on the core skills of an actor—voice work, focus, character, body, openess, playing actions & objectives, & interpreting script. Through a bunch of exercises, games & scripts, you will practise & improve your skills, & will end up with a repertoire of methods you can use any time to prepare yourself for performance.
The last week of the course is always a performance by the students at the studio. We will invite any family & friends we see fit. It gives you a chance to put into practice all that you have learnt during the course.
'The Actors Stretch' Course content:
Practical sessions for developing the performer inside, & bringing new perspectives to your acting. This course is for those who have either attended at least a term with me, or have other relevant training or experience. As the name implies, the Actors Stretch is a course to expand on the base you already have in acting. Your strong points will be encouraged & your weaknesses challenged.
