INFORMATION
COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
All courses are designed with a
two-fold philosophy: To provide a professional, challenging level of
instruction from active, experienced artists to earnest, dedicated
students, regardless of their past experience or future acting
intentions. To combine this principle with the maintenance of a fun,
supportive, safe environment to foster trust and promote play and a
sense of joyous discovery and accomplishment.
SCENE STUDY: Scene Study is an
actor’s gym - a place to hone craft and keep skills sharp. It’s an
environment for actors to learn new techniques and exercises, tackle
new material, and gain confidence in the process. Actors will engage in
group warmups, relaxation techniques, sensory work, and work with
partners on an assigned scene from a play. They will also apply
personal in-depth work, reading techniques, character exercises, and
relationship improvs designed to tap into their inner lives and imagination.
MONOLOGUES/AUDITIONS: This
course will allow students to bring in contemporary monologues from any
source, including those self written. Skills covered will include text
analysis, actions and objectives, characterization, vocal presence,
developing instincts to make highly personal and spontaneous choices,
meeting the demands of acting for the camera, learning how to command
the body and voice for maximum range and impact, body language
awareness for auditions, and making the who/what/where/when of a character
real and specific.
PLAYWRITING: Each week,
students will have the opportunity to bring written work to be read out
loud by the class. The teacher will foster discussion of the work,
bringing together questions about character and plot. Students will
learn how to build a storyline by using conflict and resolution,
developing dialogue, establishing setting, linking scenes to build
tension, and bringing the play to its conclusion. The class will also
focus on the broader questions of playwriting: What does it mean to you
to have your voice heard? What subjects draw you in the most? What do
you want to accomplish in your plays? What is the effect on the
audience of attending a play, as opposed to listening to music or
watching a movie?
IMPROVISATION: This class is
dedicated to the exploration of spontaneity. Students will engage in
theater games aimed at awakening the actor’s natural instincts. Based
on the famous Viola Spolin technique of theater games, actors will
learn to trust their impulses and to find joy in the wonder of play.
Each class will begin with relaxation and warm-ups in an effort to
center the actor, followed by improvisations and unscripted exercises
that include situations, ideas, or physical objects. The goal of this class
is to encourage actors to stop thinking and start reacting.
