Actors learn, exercise and perfect their skills on-camera. Training includes how to breakdown scripts and scenes; working with objectives, choices, organic activates and creating a specific character tree. Actors are inspired to find “the door” into their character. By working the camera, actors find casting techniques to win roles. Simulating a movie set, actors develop natural blocking and organic activities. All monologues and scenes are filmed with professional equipment and can be used for demo reels. DAY 1: Orientation. Some handouts will be distributed. Actors begin with monologues for castings. “Acting is the ability to live truthfully under imaginary circumstances.” Where did the objective originate? The simpler the objective, the more playable it is. Finding positive objectives to stimulate the imagination. DAY 2: The size of the objective. “Trying, really trying, that’s the reality of doing.” When the objective doesn’t work or if the objective is blocked, we may improvise until we find an objective that works. “How to keep my monologue alive and fresh through the use of interruption.” Actors choose scenes for demo reels. DAY 3: The observation exercises. Are you listening to me? From the objective we make choices and from those choices we create organic activities. Filming auditions and rehearse scenes.
