This intro-level class explores the Center of our creativity. Through theatre exercises we will bring out honest emotions which provide the essence for honest acting. This process allows the actor to explore their truth in living, which is transformed into truth in acting. Students will learn fundamental acting skills such
as: stage movement, improvisational exercises, interactive theatre exercises, work on monologues and scene work. This work encourages personal exploration and building self-confidence.

The next class will begin Monday March 22, 2010 and will run for six consecutive Mondays through April 26. Class time will be 7:00pm-10:00pm

This coaching focuses on preparing for an audition. During the session, we will work on developing and rehearsing monologues. We will discussappropriate protocol and preparedness necessary to be truly ready for an audition. We will discuss where to hear about auditions, how to find scripts, how to do cold readings from scripts, introductions, closers, headshots and resumes.

Structured as a rehearsal process for performance, we will prepare and perform One-Act productions through this workshop. Three to four plays will make up the evenings entertainment as family and friends attend a professional production of student work during the final class session. Each play will be approximately 30-40 minutes in length. The workshop participants will be cast in plays and will be directed by Rick Bernstein over a eight week period. Lights, sound, costumes, props, setting, and furniture will accompany the productions. This is an intensive production class for experienced and committed students. A compelling evening of theatre will be had by all.
