You will work for 3 days on your technique and text with Scott, then spend 2 days at GormanWorks, where you will work with renowned Director/Actor, Kate Gorman, using multi-camera set-up with instant playback, screen practicals and scene direction.

Scenes will be available to download once the course has finished.

“Scott Williams’ approach to acting totally changed my concept of what it is to act. I was, for the first time, able to let go of a number of 'techniques' I believed I needed and was able to simply deal with the given moment and respond to it truthfully".
- Sam Smith, Actor (Jirga, The Invisible Man, The Nightingale)

FAQs

Who are the course tutors? (AU)

Aside from Scott's mid-year annual visit, our regular classes are designed by him and taught by our Australian faculty who have trained with Scott as both actors and teachers.

What happens if I need to defer a Module?

Once you have signed up and paid your deposit, you have access to all three modules at a time that suits you. Whilst most people tend to do their 3 modules one after the other, occasionally an actor may book a job, or life happens, and you need to put it on hold. Let us know that you need to defer, and when you would like to jump back in, and we will find a place for you.

How big are the class sizes?

Class sizes vary, but are unlikely to consist of more than 20 people. Between eight and 15 has been the average over the 20 years that we’ve been training actors.

Because the Technique is experiential, classes are practical and are, we believe, unique in the amount of personal tuition and feedback you’ll receive.

Where do I begin with the Year-Long course?

The majority of students will begin with Module 1, Living Truthfully. Even if you’ve done an introductory course with us, or elsewhere, it can only give you a flavour of what the Technique can deliver.

Students who have already have a significant body of experience with The Impulse Company may begin with either Module 2 – The Given Set of Circumstances – or Module 3 – A State of Aliveness, using it as a showcase opportunity, with Scott’s agreement.

Will Scott be my teacher in Australia?

Scott visits Australia annually, and teaches each of the courses himself. These are usually Introduction to Impulse, Advancing Impulse, Play-in-a-Fortnight, Scene into Song - The Impulse to Sing, and Advancing Impulse for Screen. Some of these courses are taught alongside other industry professionals.
