Prerequisite: For serious students only!
Students learn one or both of the techniques developed by two masters of acting: David Mamet, and Sanford Meisner.
Through scene-work, monologues, and acting exercises, students will learn the core principles of these distinguished masters of acting.
• 1st 6-Week Session Focus: Mamet’s Practical Aesthetics
David Mamet is a renowned American playwright, director, and screenwriter who has made a significant impact on the world of theatre, TV and Film. He also created an acting technique referred to as PRACTICAL AESTHETICS, which we will explore in our 1st six week session. If you struggle with overthinking or getting caught up in your own head, Mamet’s technique is a straightforward way to engage with your script and your imagination. We will study his 4 step process: The Literal, The Wants, The Essential Action and The As If.
• 2nd 6-Week Session Focus: Meisner Technique
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 with a short presentation of material we have worked on for a few scouting Talent agents and managers.
