LARRY MOSS MASTERCLASS

WITH WORLD RENOWNED ACTING COACH, LARRY MOSS

“Everything I’m teaching you about acting has one aim only: to fire you up emotionally and behaviourally so that you can give a vivid, involving, and memorable performance.”

– Larry Moss

16th Street is thrilled to welcome the world’s most acclaimed acting coach, Larry Moss, back to Australia in April 2019.

Exclusive to the Sydney and Melbourne Masterclasses we are excited to announce a brand new Musical Theatre stream to Larry’s work, perfect for any high calibre actor wanting to explore the best of Broadway.

Each day we will explore the finest new generation of playwrights as well as the celebrated plays of the past through Larry’s renowned Advanced Scene Study work.  In addition, the Musical Theatre material will be chosen from the best of Broadway and off-Broadway, contemporary and classic. 

In addition to the electric environment that Larry works in for Advanced Scene Study, the Sydney and Melbourne Masterclasses will bear witness to the joy when a character begins to sing - because speaking is not enough to express the passion of the moment and must leap into melody.  We will learn to listen to the lyrics separate from the melody and discover how they support each other to deepen the character’s journey.

Life is never general, life is always specific.

Larry has directed numerous plays and coached many award-winning actors including Helen Hunt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Hilary Swank, Tobey Maguire and Jim Carrey.

Through this, he illuminates the structure, language and technical craft required to meet these demands with a focus on power. Larry places great importance on the actors vocal, physical, psychological and emotional expression.
