Acting is behaving truthfully under imaginary circumstances.
- Sanford Meisner
In Singacademy, we focus on the craft of the actor. Acting requires the practice and development of the intellect, body, voice and emotions. Improvisations and acting games are embedded in each lesson to help students gain confidence, act with spontaneity and authenticity. Scaffolding the elements of drama, the students learn to analyse the characters motivations and objectives, giving rise to the emotions as they face,their obstacles and conflicts set in the time and space of the situations. Scene work includes monologues and the students will also get opportunities to perform in ensembles.
Each acting student will prepare for two graded certifications by Trinity College, London in each year.
Students are able to use the skills in auditions for Direct School Admissions into secondary schools, through drama and theatre.
