This class is designed to help you explore the rehearsal process that will support the development of your character, inspire new ways of thinking, and breaking down a scene.
Participants begin to understand how to analyze a script to define and create a character that allows them to be engaged in the action around them and, ultimately, believable to the audience.
This session will lay the foundation of the actor's craft and feature techniques to help you prepare to enter into the mind and body of a character. It will build on the foundation of basic acting methods. It will help the actor unlock your body as well as your mind and open them to feelings and sensations which you can draw on when needed.
Our program will also feature the beginnings of scene study and analysis through monologues and ensemble work. The scene study will demonstrate how to feel the rhythm of a scene and how the actor fits into the scene. Scripts to be chosen from classic to contemporary works. The emphasis for this class is on non-musical works.
This class has limited enrollment and meets for three (3) hours.
