Daily Schedule
9:00-9:20: Relaxation and Warm-up:
Each day will begin with a series of relaxation exercises followed by full-body warm ups. These are designed to promote an attitude of openness and readiness for the work ahead. As much of acting is about trusting and engaging one’s natural instincts, students are taught to build a routine of relaxation before beginning the acting process.
9:20-10:15: Monologues:
Students will be provided with a 2 minute monologue and be given the tools to develop a fully realized character. Each student will answer in depth questions which probe into the character’s personal history, attitudes, emotional state and over arching wants. In addition to giving students a reliable technique, this daily process will result in a polished monologue that can be used for auditions.
10:15- 11:00: Improvisation:
Students will engage in improvisations and theatre games aimed at building skills and developing spontaneity, The goal is to inspire students to trust their natural instincts while having the freedom and confidence to allow unscripted scenes to develop.
11:00-12:00: Scene Study
Students will be provided with a short scene on which to work. During this process, they will learn how to decipher a script by identifying beats, objectives, obstacles and intentions. The acting techniques employed are based on the book: A Challenge for the Actor by Uta Hagen and draw heavily on the work of Sanford Meisner.
