Join acting classes for film and TV
Well-known actor, Rajesh Gopie, will host acting classes in Morningside.
ACTOR, playwright, director, producer and qualified acting teacher, Rajesh Gopie, will run a professional acting course for film and TV as part of his ActorWize programme from 2 February to 2 March at Thekwini College (former Springfield training college), Asherville Campus.
Created by Gopie, the course is called the Professional Acting Course for Film and TV, with classes which offer a unique training style with a psycho-physical approach.
Gopie describes his latest project: “Classes are geared towards providing the building blocks needed to develop acting skills. The compressed length of the course and the focused level of study needs commitment and intensive collaboration among the participants. The emphasis is placed on the physical blocks which stop the instinctual body from doing what it should do naturally. However, fear and bad experiences which plague our lives result in psychological blocks which prevent the actor from reaching full potential. These blocks will be addressed, unpacked and managed during the course. ”
Gopie is a professional multi-award winning actor and playwright who has worked on film, TV, stage and radio – locally and internationally. In the last five years he has turned his focus to training South African actors and pursued a masters degree in actor training and coaching at the world-renown Royal Central School of Speech and Drama (RCSSD) in London. Gopie is a recipient of the prestigious Oppenheimmer and Guilford scholarships which enabled him to study abroad. At RCSSD he specialised in coaching for screen.
He has extensive experience producing theatre at community, university and professional level across the country, and has acted in local and international films as well as in television series such as Scandal and Zero Tolerance.
