Acting Summer School

Acting Summer School

This course has been designed in such a way that participants may book for just one week OR both. However, if you have little or no previous experience we recommend that you do both weeks of the course to get the most benefit.

The DSL Summer Schools provide you with an exciting and diverse range of classes led by highly experienced professional practitioners.

The aim of these acting courses for adults is to give you a taste of what it is like to attend one of the Federation of Drama Schools. You will have the chance to learn practical acting skills for both stage and screen, learn to use your body and voice confidently, interpret text and make bold character choices. 

As part of the course, there will be an opportunity to attend a theatre performance in London (if you are attending the Summer School at DSL) or either Oxford or Stratford Upon Avon (if you are attending the Summer School at Ruskin College, Oxford). 

All directors and practitioners in the summer school are working professionals - so the advice and training they offer are always industry relevant.

There may be many different reasons why you choose to attend - you may be thinking of applying to drama school, wish to develop your presentation skills, or simply want to try something completely new. What we can guarantee is that you will take part in a fun-packed range of creative activities.
