Frantic Assembly, Nickolas Grace, Ross Mullan

Meisner Technique International (MTI), founded by certified instructor of the Meisner technique Royce Sparks (roycesparks.com), launches its first Summer Intensive 'The London Acting Experience' from 2nd to 16th August 2015 at the Diorama Arts Studios in Central London.

In addition to the in-depth classes taught by Sparks, a graduate of the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama's MA in Actor Training and Coaching, the course also offers specialised workshops with a number of important figures in the London arts community:

- Frantic Assembly, whose work includes the West End hit The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, teaches a workshop on devising and physical theatre.

- Acting teacher Nickolas Grace (Brideshead Revisited, Robin of Sherwood, Birds of a Feather) gives an exceptional workshop on audition speeches and nailing the audition.

- London-based actor Ross Mullan (Game of Thrones, Dr. Who) leads a masterclass on how to act truthfully when working with green screen and motion capture.

Together with acting teacher Brigid Panet, MTI organises a benefit for WaterAid (wateraid.org/uk), an international charity dedicated to bringing clean water to the world. In celebrating the ethos of arts benefiting the global community, 5% of all tuition will be donated to WaterAid, and a new beneficiary will be chosen for each subsequent Summer Intensive.

'The London Acting Experience' is open to applications both locally and internationally. Please e-mail roycesparks@gmail.com to apply directly.
