The Foundations

Join our dynamic three-month intensive course, running year-round on both our Fontainebleau and Athens campuses. This foundational programme prepares you for advanced vocational training, conducted in English, with a diverse global cohort.

At Fonact, we focus on ensemble work to build both individual and collective confidence. You’ll discover the power of being a generous, yet demanding group participant, taking risks and owning your theatrical space. Throughout the course, you’ll explore the vital balance between strength and vulnerability.

The course blends craftwork and text-based projects, leading you to confidently tackle directed scenes and a final performance

Voice

Voice classes focus on unlocking your vocal potential by building awareness and releasing physical and vocal tension.

You’ll gain insight into your strengths and weaknesses, uncovering unconscious habits and behaviors.

The course connects breath and vocal technique, helping you understand how your voice supports the emotional and physical demands of performance. You’ll explore speech and singing foundations, learn vocal support, and adapt techniques to suit your personal and professional needs.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a strong grasp of vocal mechanics, along with a clear understanding of your vocal development, including phonation, resonance, range, and placement.

Movement

Movement training focuses on body alignment, functional movement, weight transfer, and spatial awareness. Using Laban’s principles, we’ll dive into weight, time, and space to bring your movements to life.

Throughout the course, you’ll learn to release physical tension, build core strength, and explore contact improvisation, rhythm, and physical ensemble work, all while advancing your personal physical development

Intensive Training

We build on ensemble work to help you find your voice, celebrate our shared humanity, and embrace what makes you uniquely you.

At Fonact, freeing your creative imagination is just as important as mastering the craft. We’ll push you to develop both,all while keeping the energy high and the process exciting.

Expect a rigorous, demanding experience in a supportive, international environment, with over 360 hours of immersive training. This three-month course is designed to challenge you, leaving you stronger,more energized, and ready for your next step.
