There are people of all ages for whom acting is a singularly exciting prospect and preoccupation, but it’s of interest particularly to the young. Perhaps it’s the process of revealing oneself emotionally that excites the young actor, or that of stepping into the shoes of a character and losing oneself for a while to 'become' another person.
The 'dovetailing' of three threads (emotional, intellectual and technical) makes acting satisfying, fulfilling and irresistible. Then, there’s talent, which when thrown into the mix never fails to surprise and enthral. Beyond the obvious lure and tenuous promise of a career in acting, there exists a deeply rooted, solid set of benefits which emerge from drama exploration!
Collaboration, creativity, confidence and communication are all qualities and skills that ‘The Acting Space’, Dubai seeks to nurture in its cohort. In an age where educators are under pressure to measure every aspect of teaching and 'progress', where we need to tick boxes and 'prove' learning as if it’s a technology, The Acting Space will trust in its approaches to 'long learning' and value less 'measurable' outcomes.
Viewing the world through the eyes of great dramatists from Sophocles to Miller and Albee is a way of examining the human condition and wonderful (if often flawed) world that we share. The process of empathising development and improvisation through intense character equips learners for life, relationships and the workplace.
