ACTING ESSENTIALS
MODULE TWO
In this 8-week acting essentials program, you will train with 16th Street core teachers to deepen your craft and experience of scene work.
Over 8 weeks you will continue to develop elements of craft: Voice, (including dialect training), Movement and Acting Techniques. Voice work and movement training will inform character creation and the world of the scene. You will apply these techniques to ‘carbonate you into action’ through scene work.
"The space is rigorous, supportive, and artistically charged, I’m always deeply challenged and incredibly held. The teaching team don’t just focus on technique, they unlock something raw and real, then amplify it”
COURSE BREAKDOWN
-
Over 8 weeks, actors will immerse themselves in a transformative approach combining The Actors Studio’s unique methods with Uta Hagen’s technique. The focus of this module is to give actors the freedom and confidence to experience and express the fullness of their emotional lives and perform scenes unselfconsciously.
-
The actors will explore vocal power, range and resonance of the voice, and have the opportunity to master a general American accent, which is a reflection of the American characters you will be playing in your scenes.
-
Actors develop a keen sense of physical awareness and emotional availability. Harness the power of building character and story through movement and gesture techniques based on the teachings of Michael Chekhov and Rudolph Laban.
