The Intermediate Programme for Screen Acting is a 3 month full time course dedicated specifically to screen acting.
Unfortunately it is only by invitation.
Curriculum
01
The Grennell method of Ownership forms the foundation of all training on the Programme. It is a completely immersive practice and discipline that enhances performance and liberates the actor from fear of judgement allowing them to be truthful and present.
02
Gaining insight into how memory works, a visceral approach to text that bypasses the "rote" memory trap and keeps the performance alive.
03
The psychology and physiology of your relationship with the lens.
04
By drawing on our own interpretation of the story, we exercise agency over it and make it ours.
05
Navigating the high-pressure mechanics of a professional set without giving away your power or compromising your process, even with the camera and crew two feet away.
06
By understanding what the camera sees, the physics of the frame, and the physiology of the self, the actor expands to fill the screen.
07
Understanding the child's perspective of their environment and the liberating approach to parallel play.
08
Create your own work - helping you find your specific voice to develop the capacity for the 'self-generated' lead
9
Covering everything from Blocking to Continuity to Hitting Your Marks
10
Keeping agency in a collaborative workflow

Yes. Bow Street is one of the few training schools that understands there is no substitute for practical experience. You will always learn more on a Film or TV set than in a classroom and students often get cast in productions that come through Bow Street.
However, given how short the course is it would be wiser to focus on the training for the 3 month period.
No. As Bow Street is not yet accredited, there are no student grants or funding available right now. Student loans might be sought from Bank or Credit Union.
