Acting Realism and Naturalism

Use of Stanislavski’s terms - given circumstances, through-line, sense memory, creative imagination and ensemble acting - to analyze Arthur Miller’s play “A View from the Bridge.” Exercises (dramaturgy, radio play, documentary, and masked improv) bring the class deeply into the moment-to-moment world of the play. Focus on stage-worthy acting, how an actor thinks and honoring the body's expressive impulses. Individual coaching and skill set analysis through scene work. Prior acting experience in productions and/or acting classes recommended. No prerequisites.
