MATCH FIT
WITH AWARD-WINNING DIRECTOR, IAIN SINCLAIR
This renowned 6-week course ‘Match Fit’ is one of our flagship courses for the professional actor. Iain focuses on the widest range of preparation and interpretation needed to hold your own and keep your dignity in professional redirection.
Iain will guide and direct you to expand your vision of the scene and the range of choices available to you as an actor to realise the writer’s intention. The course focuses on:
The rehearsal process
5-points of story
Training in redirection
Rehearsal, performance and adjustments.
Being our most popular course, there is a waitlist. If you have applied in previous years, please re-confirm your interest for 2025 by using the application form.
Our next round of Match Fit will be Match Fit+. Each scene will have an assistant director attached and rehearsal room access between each match fit session.
How it will work: Match Fit+ will be attended by participants in our Directors Apprenticeship program. The assistant directors will take and enact Iain's notes from the floor after each session before the next Match Fit. 16th Street will provide each pairing with rehearsal room access pending availability.
Iain Sinclair is recognised as one of Australia’s finest theatre directors, and the actors he directs are consistently honoured for their performances in award season.
Actors working alongside Iain are regularly nominated for Best Actor awards here and overseas. In 2017 alone 10 actors under Iain’s direction won Best Actor awards 3 in Los Angeles and 7 in Australia alongside a compelling 34 total award nominations and 4 wins for Best Play.
“Iain is one of the most forensic directors I have worked with. His knowledge of American literature is vast and he gets to the heart of what is at play. He is an inspiration” – Darren Gilshenan, Award-Winning Actor, Director, Writer & Teacher.
Iain will be suggesting plays and scene pairings based on what he believes will best serve you. If Iain is not familiar with your work providing a showreel or self-tapes will assist with these offerings.
