About the Programme

The Four-Week Summer Course offers a complete and immersive experience of FONACT’s training, designed for actors who want to engage deeply with their craft over a sustained period.

Across four intensive weeks, participants develop a strong foundation in acting technique, voice, movement, and text analysis, while progressively moving towards applied practice. The structure allows for a continuous deepening of the work: skills are not only introduced, but integrated, challenged, and embodied through repetition and refinement.

Particular emphasis is placed on rehearsal processes and performance. Actors are guided to make dynamic choices, to strengthen their presence, and to develop a reliable creative process within an ensemble. The extended format creates the conditions for meaningful artistic risk-taking and transformation.

For those who begin with the Two-Week Summer Course, this programme represents a natural continuation, forming a full four-week journey. For others, it stands as a complete and rigorous immersion into professional actor training.
