Acting for Real

• Are you hoping to gain more artistic skills? 
• Learn and try out new performance techniques?
• Develop an understanding of script analysis!
   

Classes will begin with a warm up to release the tension from our daily lives. This allows students to truly inhabit their physical body, the actor’s ‘instrument’.  Students will learn to ask and answer specific questions by focusing on the material.  In a real life audition scenario one must make choices in a blink of an eye. Choices that will set them apart from their peers & other actors “in the room”.  These ideas must be executed with confidence & self-assurance IN FRONT OF A CAMERA.

This creates a performance that 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 understand how to reveal the deeper layers of your character’s wants, needs, and motivations. Each student’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.
