Exceptional actors are physically and vocally responsive, possessing a free
and agile instrument, quick to react to stimuli and flexible enough to
shapeshift instantly and at will. Of course, long experience (10,000 hours!)
inevitably develops this ability, but this class will save a thousand hours or
so by jumpstarting the responsiveness and agility of the actor’s body and
voice and bonding them to emotion. Exhilarating work stems from the
actor’s ability to create instantaneous emotional connections to an
expressive and pliant body, voice and speech.
We combine exercises, improvisations and text work in order to increase
emotional, physical and vocal freedom and flexibility. The freeing of an
actor’s instrument is a prerequisite for any transformation as well.
Whether using “inside-out’ or “outside-in” approaches, a nimble and
adaptable instrument is vital. Additionally, confidence and courage are
encouraged in order to experiment with no fear!
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 complete the session and are finally responsible for the session if they attend the first session.
