ACTING FOR BEGINNERS – The Character in Performance
April 3 – June 5, 2024. Wednesdays at 2:30 pm
THE CHARACTER IN PERFORMANCE class gives acting students a foundation in creating truthful, dynamic characters for film, television, or stage. It teaches techniques that find the character’s voice, physicality, and psychology. Students work on strengthening their vocal and physical presence, creating characters that are believable yet completely different from themselves. Through exercises, script analyses, monologue and scene work, students acquire a comprehensive set of “acting tools” to draw upon when approaching a role. At the end of the 10 weeks, students will know how to bring a character to life and apply their techniques in scene work and performance.
