Wednesdays, 23 September – 2 December · 7–9pm · Ballinfoile Community Centre · €290/€260 (concession)
No class the week of 26 October.
A ten-week introduction for complete beginners and for anyone returning to acting after time away.
Each week builds on the last. We start with the fundamentals — the body in space and how to transform both, embodying a character, speaking and responding to dialogue naturally — then moving through improvisation and ensemble work into text. There's a full class on monologues: how to choose one for an audition, open it up, and make it yours. The last two weeks are spent putting all this together to work on scenes which we’ll share with the group at the end.
You'll leave with the working vocabulary of an actor, a monologue, and a scene you've properly rehearsed and performed.
All ages welcome, from 18 to 80 and upwards. No experience needed, and if you’ve done a bit before, there’s still a lot to gain. Bring comfortable clothes and curiosity.
Twelve places only. Small class sizes ensure the right amount of attention for every student to flourish.
Booking, Concessions & Cancellations
€290/€260 (concession). Full payment secures your place.
Taking both courses? Book the [Acting + Playwriting bundle] — €470 / €440 concession.
If you are a student or unemployed, email sarahotoole@pm.me with a student card or proof of unemployment and we'll send you the discount code.
If paying in full is difficult, email me and we'll work something out.
Cancel more than 7 days before the start date for a full refund less a €15 admin fee. Within 7 days, or once the course has begun, no refund — but you can transfer your place to someone else at any time, and if I can fill your place from the waiting list I'll refund you in full less the €15 fee.
Because the course runs on fixed dates, the 14-day statutory cancellation right under the EU Consumer Rights Directive doesn't apply.
Full terms are available [here].
