Those Details Again …

Your classes for this month will be Tuesdays, June 11th, 18th, and 25th!

Your One-on-One can be in the fourth week, or anytime you choose! More about the One-on-One in class.

At 7:30 pm we will have an optional “Catch Up”, and then get into class work by 8:00 PM! Let’s get WORKING!!!

Rehearsals are the most magical part of what we do. It’s where we get to decide in safety and confidence what WE can bring to a part with the help and support of a team of trusted advisors on a similar journey.

OUR JOB as classmates and as actors is to be supportive of an individual’s process by helping them try as many things as possible to help an individual find their best.

OUR JOB IS NOT to be right, to put each other down, to disparage someone’s choice, or make someone feel less than confident about their work.

THINGS TO TRY:

1. Run it Through.

• Don’t feel like you need to jump straight to a final performance! Run the scene sitting, run the scene on it’s feet. Feel it out! Compliment what works first from that place of gut instinct.

2. Talk it Out.

• Dissect the Scene, talk about the individual beats, what the character’s purpose is, what they want. Think about it from everyone’s point of view, the writer, director, editor, the audience. REMEMBER THERE’S MORE THAN ONE WAY TO PLAY A SCENE, but the beats don’t lie.

3. Beat it Out.

• Get up on your feet and work through beat by beat. What works? Compliment it! What doesn’t? Get rid of it, figure it out! Does it flow? Where does it stop, where are we taken out of the story?

4. Refine It.

• Make sure you can get all the way through it. If anything stops you, go back to the beat and hash it out.
