Introduction to Acting

Theatre  Improvisation

Improvisation 2

Scene  Work

Text Interpretation

The Actor's Stretch

Having 'It'

Auditioning

Deciphering Shakespeare

Introduction to Acting for TV & Film

These 8 or 9 week courses on either Monday or Wednesday nights, 7.30 - 10 pm, & generally coincide with the school terms. Contact John if you want to be on the mailing list for info.

As great acting requires a balance of many skills, each course helps to develop different areas, so that over a year the students get a more complete look at the artform.

The courses require full participation, & quickly break down barriers to expression.

They are for actors of all levels, as (with John's help) you will challenge yourself at your own level, & will be encouraged to taking your acting further. 

Who is John Goudge? & what is Rimu Glade Studio?

For 15 years John’s been teaching drama to children & adults of all abilities.  In that time he’s become thoroughly convinced of the power of drama training to help people achieve in their lives.

He’s a passionate supporter of local theatre, & spends much time acting, directing or helping behind the scenes. In 2007/2008 he was the chairperson of Waiatarua Performing Arts & an adjudicator for the Dolphin Theatre in Onehunga. For six years he was Titirangi Theatre’s drama tutor. Most recently you may have seen him as Nick Bottom in A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Titirangi.

He is also a musician & writer, having released his studio album Fool Circle in April 2010.

He set up Rimu Glade Studio at his house in Waiatarua nine years ago. It’s a self-contained creative studio in the Waitakere bush, & seats a small audience of about 40. Students find it a good place to relax & concentrate on their learning.

A small performance at the end of each term provides a real ‘live’ opportunity to practice what you have learned.

Rimu Glade Studio is a safe place to come each week to get away from the other stresses of life for a while.

Drama training is also available for individuals, schools, theatres, corporate groups or special projects. Ring John to talk about specifically designed courses or workshops.

How to enrol & fees:

Give John a call if you want to join a course or workshop. You can ask any questions, or visit the studio if you want.
 

You’ll need to send a cheque or direct credit to confirm your place in class before course start.
