Happy Holidays to all!

Tuesday night class will now take place on Wednesday nights. Same time 7-10pm.

Five-week Technique Class in LA

Location & Date
Los Angeles
January 18th – February 15th, 2012
(Wednesdays) 7-10pm

five week sessions are held at:
The Actor’s Intensive Studio
2070 Hillhurst Ave
Los Angeles, CA. 90027

This class is for all levels of actors. Using both Method and Meisner based techniques, we will help 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 scene study, monologues and exercises to develop technique. We will also focus on audition technique at different times through out the session.

Monologue Workshops

Earlier this year I attended a workshop given by playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis. Having been a longtime fan of Stephen's work, I was excited to see where he would take us.

He asked us to write a letter to someone we had an unresolved issue with. Then write a second letter from the recipient as a response. We got up and read this personal work and discussed where it could go from there. I came away from this workshop reminded once again how vital it is we allow ourselves to be who we are and speak that out.

In the upcoming workshops I'll be teaching in LA and San Francisco, we will be taking this work to the next level. We will develop the writing, deepen connection to the text and get the actor on his feet.

Speaking one's truth with clarity and conviction while putting it on paper can be incredibly freeing and inspiring.

I am very much looking forward to doing these workshops, and being a part of allowing your own words and voices to be heard.

Hope to see you there!
