ESSENTIAL KIT LIST

LEVEL 3 & 4 ACTING

Acting Classes

ESPA Blacks - comfortable and flexible clothing to suit a range of practical/movement/character work. Avoid clothes that restrict movement and fashions that are too striking and specific. 

Movement/Physical Theatre/Dance/Fitness

Black fitness wear (clothing that is suitable for movement/exercise) - Tracksuit, joggers, leggings, tshirt

Trainers (any colour/style) - Must be clean and dry for indoor use. 

Jewellery

It is preferable to keep jewellery to a minimum, for two reasons. Firstly it is safer, and second as Actors we want to remain a black canvas - so that we can easily transform to become a range of different characters. This includes rings, chains, necklaces, piercings. As jewellery will need to be removed for certain performances - it also makes sense to rehearse with little too. 

Hair

Hair to be kept off the face and tied up if long. Be flexible about hair styles.
