Yellow Academy 2010 is an exciting new initiative between Yellow Earth (UK’s leading East Asian* theatre company) and ALRA (The Academy of Live and Recorded Arts). Outreaching to Belfast, Birmingham, London, and Manchester through February to May 2010, we will be bringing together a group of enthusiastic and curious young people down to London for a free week of acting training in Summer 2010.
Activities are free and open to all British East Asians aged 16-30 curious or interested in actor training. No previous experience necessary.
Round One – Taster Talks
In early 2010, Yellow Earth’s co-Artistic Director Jonathan Man and ALRA’s co-Director Clive Duncan will visit Belfast, Birmingham, London, and Manchester, to reveal secrets on how to get into the industry and provide a taste of what it really takes to be a successful professional actor. They will also introduce the work of both organisations.
Round Two – Audition Workshops
In Spring 2010, we return to Round One cities and offer a practical ‘taste’ of actor training through interactive workshops. Selected participants will be invited to the Acting Summer Camp.
Round Three – Acting Summer Camp
In Summer 2010, the successful participants will go to London to take part in an intensive week’s training. Free tuition and accommodation will be provided. Participants will work in classes with professional practitioners from Yellow Earth and ALRA, covering Movement, Voice, Acting and Mask.
