About the Programme

The Two-Week Summer Course is an intensive introduction to FONACT’s approach to actor training, offering a focused and demanding experience within a condensed format.

Over two weeks, actors are immersed in the essential components of the craft: acting technique, voice, movement, and ensemble practice. The emphasis is on developing presence, responsiveness, and precision, while building a strong connection to the work and to the group.

Despite its short format, the course is designed to be complete in itself a powerful introduction point into rigorous training. At the same time, it opens the door to further development: participants have the opportunity to continue directly into the Four-Week Summer Course, extending their experience into a deeper and more sustained exploration of the craft.

the course is open to candidates of all nationalities regardless of prior acting experience
