Acting Intensive: On Camera Acting Technique

In this workshop we will explore film scripts and research iconic performances to introduce the beginning film actor to this exciting genre. The class will begin with familiarization of performance skills to relax and relate to the camera. Students will then choose one scene and one monologue from online scripts provided by the instructor, or though their own research. Scripts will range from contemporary film to the ¿Golden Age of Black and White¿-- from screwball comedy to film noir. The actors will learn on camera technique, utilization of action, specificity of language, personalization, and emotional truth. STUDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO BRING THEIR OWN SUGGESTIONS.
