About our Year course 2010/11
It’s eight years since Scott Williams began our part time First Year course – and seven since we launched the part time Second Year rehearsal and performance course.
Both have been extraordinarily successful. Hundreds of actors have benefitted from the consistency and depth that can only be achieved through regular commitment.
But every year, some to whom we’ve offered places have been unable to commit because a year seems like just too much – and others have, with reluctance always, dropped out because they’ve been offered jobs. We’re sorry to see them go but happy for them. After all, putting what you’ve learned into practice is what training is for!
So here’s what we’re offering for 2010/11. We’re excited by the concept – and we hope you are too.
It’s a modular course which delivers everything First Year students have experienced – but which allows you to ‘sign up’ for one, two or all three modules according to your circumstances and to pick up where you’ve left off if your circumstances change.
Here’s how it works …
We’re breaking down the First Year into three self-contained modules of eleven weeks each. As this is a rolling programme, students have the opportunity to join every three monthds.
Module 1 – Living Truthfully
Module 2 – The Given Set of Circumstances
Module 3 – A State of Aliveness
Living Truthfully covers our basic, Meisner-rooted Technique, giving you a deep and experiential grounding in its analysis and exercises, focusing on those which bring you into 'the moment.'
The Given Set of Circumstances takes the Technique forward into work with 'the givens' of performance, including investing in the realities of doing at the heart of any actor's work.
A State of Aliveness takes your work into text, from the first Reading and text analysis, through to rehearsal techniques, culminating in a performance of scenes for an invited audience.
Where do you begin?
Most students will begin with Module 1, Living Truthfully.
Students who have already have a body of experience within the Technique may choose to begin with either Module 2 – The Given Set of Circumstances – or Module 3 – A State of Aliveness, using it as a showcase opportunity.
If you wish to enter at Module 2 or 3, please contact Lindsay on Lindsay@impulsecompany.co.uk or 07525 264173.
How do you apply?
If you’re new to Impulse, get in touch with Lindsay and she’ll fix you up with an informal interview with Scott. She’ll also email you a questionnaire which you should complete and take with you to your interview.
If you’re an Impulse practitioner or an alumnus of the First Year programme, acceptance is automatic. Just get in touch with Lindsay and she’ll take you through the process.
How much does it cost?
We offer both a discounted ‘upfront’ and an interest-free deferred payment option, which allows you to spread your payments for each module over four months.
We ask for a £300 non-returnable deposit from deferred payment students to secure your place, payable only when you first sign up, even if you take a break.
Our fees are based on a VAT-inclusive value for a three-module course of £2400. Following your deposit payment, each module’s cost is £700.
Upfront payment
Students paying upfront will attract a 10% discount at their entry point if signing up for one or two modules, and 15% if signing up for all three, inclusive of a notional deposit of £300.
Upfront payment for one module is £900
Upfront payment for two modules is £1530
Upfront payment for three modules is £2040
Deferred payment
Students signing for their first module at whatever entry point will pay a £300 deposit followed by four monthly payments of £175 per module.
Students signing up for two modules will pay a £300 deposit for their first module, followed by eight monthly payments of £175.
Students signing up for three modules will pay a £300 deposit for their first module, followed by 12 monthly payments of £175.
