The primary aim of this class is to combine a character’s emotional, physical and imaginative life with the technical abilities required to realize that character to its maximum potential. This is accomplished through Scene Study, Monologue Work and Exercises: identifying and applying appropriate choices that are grounded in the text; and creating a connection to the acting partner.
I do not subscribe to any ‘one note fits all’ approach to acting (with one exception – Truth Always). Students are introduced to varied techniques and exercises from the following categories: Acting (Stanislavski, Meisner . . . ); Voice and Ear-Training (Skinner, Fitzmaurice, Linklater, . . . ); Movement (Laban, Lecoq, Commedia, . . . ); Alexander Technique; Text Analysis; and Many Varied Exercises. Class participants will be exposed to a deeper approach to learning the Craft of Acting, and learn to apply a broader rehearsal ‘skill set’ - within which they will learn to ‘play’ and create. Class requirements: This class is for Intermediate and Advanced Actors. At least one monologue should be memorized and ready to present on the first day of class.
