ABCs of ACTING: Act And Fun! with Elyse // Tuesdays (from May @Amsterdam East) **FULL**
“The actor must use his imagination to be able to answer all questions (when, where, why, how). Make the make-believer existence more definite.” – Stanislavski
IMPROVE YOUR ACTING SKILLS WHILE HAVING FUN!
In this beginners acting course, our teacher Elyse (click to see profile) will provide you with everything you need to start your theatrical journey. Acting techniques, how to use your body and voice, build a character, how to open your mind and follow your impulses. Elyse’s teaching is based mainly in the Stanislavski method and focuses on helping actors create believable characters and develop natural performances. Through this method she will encourage you to go outside your comfort zone in a safe space aimed at increasing your self confidence, presenting skills, and communication skills verbal and non-verbal.
Through a combo of improvisation games and theater exercises, you will learn how to harness a character through the magic “if” which asks the actor to put themselves in the shoes of the character and imagine how they’d respond in a given circumstance. You will have the freedom to discover your abilities in a safe environment, but you will also be encouraged to open up and face your emotions deeper. The classes will give you a chance to connect to your authentic self and the stories that make you who you are. In this way, you will build your self confidence and communication skills, both as actors and in your daily life. Acting can give you skills to make you more comfortable in certain situations and be able to trust yourself knowing you can adapt, problem solve, and work together to create something great.

Should I Choose Acting or Improv?
What’s the difference between Acting and Improv Theater? Acting and Improv theater are both forms of performance and have similarities, but they also have some key differences:
WHAT IS ACTING
Acting is a structured process of interpreting and portraying a character/role in a scripted play or film. Actors are given a script to work with and deliver it as authentically as possible. They are expected to memorise lines and blocking, and to create a believable and consistent portrayal of a character over the course of a performance. This also involves a creative exploration of physicality and character voices.
WHY ACTING
Acting teaches you how to express & perform a character/role physically in an honest and confident way, in many different situations, and helps you connect deeper with the emotions and thoughts of a character/role.
———————————————————————————————
WHAT IS IMPROV
Improv is a more unstructured process of creating a scene without any script. Participants have to get out of their comfort zones, think on their feet and tap into spontaneity while performing. Improv actors typically work with minimal preparation or planning, and they are expected to create characters, dialogue and action on the spot, often in response to suggestions or prompts from the audience or other performers. There may be a lot of fun, laughter and camraderie in the process.
WHY IMPROV
Improv helps you connect deeper with others in a more authentic & empathetic way; be more creative, think on your feet and tap into your spontaneity and your playful inner-child.
*******************************************************************************
Both Αcting and Ιmprov theater can be useful tools for developing acting skills and building confidence on stage, but they are different techniques that require different approaches and skill sets. Both Acting and Improv can improve your listening and communication skills and level up your ability to actively and openly communicate with the world around you!
Which location should I choose?
Sometimes, we offer theater courses in different locations around the city center. We’d highly recommend that you choose the course location that is most convenient for you travel-wise!
What happens if I miss 1-2 classes? Can I get a credit/refund?
ATTENDANCE
We understand that work & personal life is different for everyone and can be challenging to fully commit. Each student must attend at least 70% of each course (either 5/7, either 6/8, either 7/9 classes). Regular attendance will ensure a positive group dymamic as well as providing the student with increased opportunities to partake in pair- and group activities. It is beneficial for a student to commit to attending the majority of the lessons in a course to ensure his/her personal growth. Each succeeding lesson will build on the skills and activities of the previous lesson. If a student is absent or late in more than 2 group classes per course without a valid notice, then unfortunately he/she/they will not be eligible to continue the course, as this can significally affect the balance and the dynamics of the group.
REFUNDS/CREDITS FOR CLASSES MISSED
We sell packages of 5-6-7-8 classes only, so you can either pay 1 trial or the full course/package. However, we sometimes do exceptions (only depending on availability) and can give you a discount on the full course if you know in advance that you will miss some classes! 🙂
If you want to learn more about our course full terms & conditions click here.
What are the discounts Act Attack offers?
Our goal is to always have affordable prices, so that everyone can benefit from theater. However, we also offer several discounts and gifts:
– ”Loyalty discount”: is the discount given to students who booked and completed 2 or more courses (for example at least 1 beginner + 1 intermediate course or at least 2 different beginner courses). The amount of the discount can be between 10 and 25 euros per person depending on the season, the city and the course. Furthermore, if you booked and completed 3 or more classes, apart from the loyalty discount we will soon give you a special gift 🙂
– ”Bring a friend” discount: is the discount given to a student who booked & completed a course, and also recommend us a friend who also booked and completed a course with us. The amount of the discount can be between 10 and 15 euros total depending on the season, the city and the course.
Discounts cannot be combined.
What is a graduation certificate?
It is a graduation proof given by Act Attack to the students who joined a complete course (beginners & intermediates) or 2 different courses. It is given upon request and as a PDF document.
