Class Overview:
This class is designed to prepare students for auditions, performance, or life skills – such as confidence, communication (verbal and non verbal), listening and focusing skills, ability to share ideas creatively, etc. The actors will explore in detail three major focus areas: 1) The Mind of the Character: Studying a few methods of acting and learning how to create Goal-driven characters. 2) The Body of a Character: A step by step approach to fully embodying a character (and how to create a physical "trigger" to snap into character!) 3) The Character as Part of an Ensemble: Developing creative skills to reacting to others in the scene (and in the class) around you. These three components will be studied in application to each half of the course-- Part 1: Monologues, Part 2: Scene Study. We will often rely on improvisation to explore concepts before applying them to text.
