Acting Intensive – Los Angeles Workshop: Jan, 2019 TBD

UNMASK THE MYSTERY AND DEEPEN YOUR TECHNIQUE.

THIS INTENSIVE WORKSHOP WILL GIVE YOU A CONCRETE AND DIRECT APPROACH TO PERFORMANCE AND AUDITION MATERIAL.  HONE YOUR SKILLS AND STRENGTHEN YOUR TECHNIQUE THROUGH A RANGE OF EXERCISES; APPLIED TO COLD READINGS, IMPROVISATIONS AND SCENES.

This intensive acting class is designed to allow performers of all levels to hone their skills and deepen their technique through a range of exercises that are directly applied to cold readings, structured improvisations, scenes and monologues, and audition material.

My approach is modern and Method-based, and it employs sensory and dream work, active imagination, moment-to-moment and given-circumstances exercises.  Each class opens with either

a) an active relaxation using music, dance, and creative sound and movement;

or

b) a receptive relaxation involving breathing, stretching, verbalization and guided visualization.

Both forms engender a creative, open state and provide actors with a clear roadmap to guide them through the next stage of work: the direct application of their technique to material either they bring in themselves (and may be currently working on for an upcoming performance or audition*) or that they choose from among scenes I can provide.   In addition to these exercises and application, all students participate in script and character analysis, and offer and receive feedback, both from me and their peers.

New-comers gain a foundation of good, solid technique and a methodology applicable to any future work. More experienced participants expand their foundation in new and inspiring ways.  I look forward to embarking on this exciting journey with you and thank you in advance for your participation, enthusiasm and passionate work.

*For those wishing to use material they are already working on, the more advance notice you are able to give us, the better.
