class descriptions
Acting: level one
Make a healthy place for drama in your life. Wake up your imagination, knock the kinks out of your body and get comfortable in front of a group by exploring acting fundamentals in a supportive environment. In Acting 1, you'll discover the basic
building blocks of the acting process, including given circumstances, objective, obstacles and tactics. Cultivate awareness and flexibility while stretching your emotional wings. Bring it all together in scenework that will enliven and invigorate.
Scene Study Intensive
Students will explore and apply beat analysis and text scoring in a realism scene. Focus will be place on connection to breath and voice with movement to connect the physical action with the psychological action. The class is designed to help actors respond in the moment to the text and their fellow actors.
voice and movement
Through skill presentation and extensive exercises (including the Alexander Technique and Cicely Berry's voice work), students will work with both poetic and naturalistic text and learn how to feel when the voice is working without interference. Vocally, students will work on breath support, projection, articulation, and resonance placement, learning how to release the particular dramatic energy of words. Movement work is based on Laban’s efforts with the view toward connecting with language through character.
