SIMPLE ACTING
Wednesday nights from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. (begins 9/22)
This class is based on the idea that great acting is a result of the proper interpretation of a role. Students will focus on a step by step technique for scene analysis developed by David Mamet and William H. Macy. The proper analysis of a role results in a playable action for the actor. This class is for actors at any level that are interested in a technique that approaches a role from a practical standpoint. We will be analyzing and acting out several scenes throughout the course.
“I believe your training will enable me to become a professional working actor, which is my goal.” – Cieran Trainor-Brigham

WARMING UP TO COLD READINGS
Tuesday nights from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. (begins 9/23)
Most plays are cast via "sides" - small scenes from the play that actors must read without too much preparation. Students will work with a veteran casting director to discover small tricks that can provide that all-important edge in audition situations. The class will also include some time to refresh audition monologues, the prologue to the cold reading.
