Acting is not about being someone different. It's finding the similarity in what is apparently different, then finding myself in there. ~ Meryl Streep
THE WORKSHOP
Actor, Writer, Director Angie Nolan will guide you through a three session acting intensive that is designed to help aspiring actors who dig deeper into scene and character study. These sessions will be focused on uninhibited imagination work and will help actors dive deeper into the following aspects of scene work:
Breaking down the inner workings of a scene.
Using imagination to ‘Get out of our own way' to the let the character in
Being grounded in the moment while losing yourself in the text
Psychologically and physically transforming into the character
Staying true to character in front of an audience
This course is intended for performers and people who have previous training and acting experience and who are interested in embracing a new level of scene and 'character' work. This will be an extremely focused course where at the end of the final class, participants will be given the opportunity to showcase their work for friends and family in a relaxed and safe environment. Participants should expect to be off book before the intensive starts and plan to get to together with scene partners outside of class time as well.
Class size: 10 - 12 people maximum
