Develop an in-depth understanding of script analysis
Classes will begin with a warmup to release the tension from our daily lives. This allows students to truly inhabit their physical body, the actor’s ‘instrument’. They are then able to access and use information they gain from all five senses to approach their character.
Students will learn to ask and answer specific questions by focusing on the material. This creates a performance which reveals the subtexts that emotionally impact their character, and in turn their audience.
In a positive, encouraging environment we will work on scenes in front of the class. With input and critique from myself and your fellow students, you will come to understand how to reveal the deeper layers of your character’s wants, needs and motivations.
Each actor’s personal life experience can be used to build the character in order to create a dynamic and unique performance on stage, on camera or for auditions.
