From 21 to 23 September, Screen Territory partnered with Sydney Acting Studio to bring acclaimed Australian director and actor Jeremy Sims to Darwin for an intensive 3-day masterclass at Brown’s Mart Theatre.
Designed for screen practitioners looking to deepen their understanding of performance and the filmmaking process, the masterclass drew on Sims’ experience across more than 3 decades in Australian film, television and theatre.
Jeremy Sims' directing credits include Beneath Hill 60, Last Cab to Darwin and Rams, alongside an extensive acting career spanning stage and screen. That experience across both sides of the camera gave participants an opportunity to examine performance from the perspectives of the actor and the director.
The program explored acting technique and scene analysis, character development, performance beats and the practical relationship between camera coverage and storytelling. Participants also considered how directors interpret scripts, translate dramatic intention into visual choices and communicate those choices to actors on set.
The partnership reflects Screen Territory’s ongoing commitment to professional development that gives Northern Territory practitioners access to experienced Australian screen professionals and practical opportunities to refine their craft.
