5-week technique class in LA

5-week technique class in LA with Kirk Baltz


Tuesdays 7-10pm May 11th-June 8th


This class is for all levels of actors.
Using both Method and Meisner based techniques,
we will focus on basic relaxation and helping the actor
make clear and specific choices rooted in what he/she is "doing".
Each student will gain an understanding of what it means
to be an artist and create work that is alive and rooted
in the truth of each individual actor.

A few areas covered:
-How an actor gains awareness of physical tension and releases this tension.
-Finding the set givens so a character's truth can be revealed.
-Creating change within one's self rather then changing the character.
-What is the character's "need"? How is this "need" attained?

Basic course outline:
Actors will be working on monologues and exercises to develop technique.
We will also focus on audition technique at different times through out the session.

The 5-week technique class is held at:

The Actor's Intensive Studio
2070 Hillhurst Ave
Los Angeles, CA. 90027
