Have you ever analysed, celebrated or winced at lines you’ve heard someone speak in a �lm, TV series or play? Are you tired of hearing people quoting lines and want to come up with a few of your own? On this course, you will be able to develop your ideas into scripts whilst learning about how to write for different mediums (TV, �lm, theatre, and radio) and in different genres.

You will dissect scripts, assessing what makes a successful one. If you’re sharp-eared, script aware and prone to daydreaming in dialogue, then sign up and turn those inner-dialogues into something real. All the best writers will tell you it all started with an idea, so put yours to paper.

Do you know the feeling of the nerves kicking in, palms sweating, worrying about forgetting the words for that must-have role? Learn some of the tricks of the trade with a professional actor to give you that all-important con�dence boost. Help tackle pre-audition nerves as you step out into those lights.

Learn how to steady yourself, use the correct breathing techniques and how to pick that piece of text or even song which will help you stand out from the rest. Be different, learn from the �nest and nail that audition. From a school play to the West End, aim high, stand out and be the best.

Script Writing

How would you react if you saw an accident? Do you have the skills and knowledge that could save someone’s life? This emergency �rst aid class covers both the theoretical and practical aspects of �rst aid training.
