Looking to delve deeper into your work? Then, this class is for YOU!
Through scene-work and exercises students will learn the core principles of these distinguished masters of acting.
Winter 6-Week Session Focus: Stanislavski
The father of the naturalistic theatre movement. His approach incorporates spiritual realism, emotional memory, dramatic and self-analysis and disciplined practice. The Method encourages sincere and expressive performances.
Spring 6-Week Session Focus: Meisner
Inspired by Stanislavski, the goal of the Meisner Technique is for the actor to not focus on themselves and instead concentrate on the other actors in the immediate environment. There is a greater focus on the other actor as opposed to one’s internal thoughts or feelings associated with the character.
Final Showcase(s) for Loved Ones & Talent Reps
Each 6-Week Session concludes in a short presentation of scenes from either TV, Film or Stage for loved ones and a few scouting Talent Reps.
