Acting workshops coming to Navan

Aspiring actors in the Meath area who dream of acting on the big screen have a chance to gain invaluable practical experience on the annual Acting for Film and Television workshops being held at the Newgrange Hotel on 8th, 9th and 10th March next. The workshops provide an opportunity for participants to learn the essentials of screen acting. Participants come away with a sound, first-hand understanding of the art and the business of acting for the camera. The course is being hosted by The Irish Film Actors Workshop and will run from 7pm to 11pm each evening. There are ten places available for anyone interested in getting acting work in television dramas, commercials and feature films. You can be a total beginner or an experienced member of a local drama group, all you need is to be at least 17 years of age (over 40s especially welcome) and would love the chance to land a role in a film, TV drama or commercials. The course is led by Shane Munro, film producer and actors agent who is better known for his roles in many television ads, but who was also executive producer on the award-winning film 'To Catch A Crow', directed by Shay Leonard which won Best Film at the BBC International Film Festival in London and also screened at the Cannes Film Festival. As a direct result of doing this course, 17 people who have landed lead roles in BAFTA nominated television programmes.
