Students will learn to use their voice in a safe and sustainable manner while developing script analysis techniques that will allow them to connect to texts in a physical and aural way. The voice work will be a fusion of training systems created by Kristin Linklater and Cicely Berry. Students in this class will also develop their physical awareness through explorations into several physical movement styles designed to help connect the actor to their body and its unique movement style. Laban Movement Analysis will form the backbone of this physical work, but students will be able to explore the basics of several other movement systems* with the aim of seeing which fits their personal style best. (* For those who have asked, a note from NCP: movement systems you might ask about could include Viewpoints, Feldenkrais, Alexander, or Suzuki etc) Scene Study 8.45 - 10.15PM This class will focus on character development and interaction within the context of scene work. This class will utilize many of the techniques discussed in the Fundamentals class, but enrollment in both is not required. Students will focus on connection to breath and voice with movement to connect the physical action with the psychological action. Work on character interactions, theatrical honesty, and formalized script analysis will be combined with in-depth scene work and focused feedback to present the actor with a rigorous but supportive learning environment.
