Expanding Range and Depth

Intermediate-Professional – Santa Barbara

• 13 Sunday nights, 9/22 – 12/15

• Limit 12 participants. $600 total, or 3 monthly installments $200.

Individual programs are designed to help participants break through habits, propensities and limitations in order to achieve maximum range, freedom, depth and power. Organic transformation to character and emotional depth and intensity will be emphasized.

Individual interviews take place prior to the start of the class to mutually determine the needs, goals and programs for each actor during the term. The programs will center on either expanding the acting range or deepening the intensity and capacity of emotional commitment. Then follow-up assignments including improvisations, explorations, scenes and monologues will be specially tailored to the needs of each actor.

The chosen program will lead to a freer physical and vocal life, solidify aspects of craft, and develop a wider and deeper dramatic (and comic!) range.

N.B. All courses progress in a logical and consecutive sequence. Furthermore, students are frequently turned away once the maximum number of participants has been reached. For these reasons, students who begin the session agree to commit to the entire session and are, therefore, financially responsible for that session.
