Victoria Motion Picture School
- [RDL]
Objective: The program takes a spiral, rather than a linear approach to learning, always circling around the same basic principles, sometimes taking a broad overview, sometimes focusing on specific details, sometimes working in great depth, sometimes using a light and playful approach. Students should expect to bring their whole selves, for that is the raw material with which they will be working. The approaches and processes used will be drawn from a broad and eclectic
spectrum, the aim being to encourage each student to develop an individual approach to the work of acting.
