This 2-part, in-person series will focus on Acting with Ease, a thorough exploration of performing using improvisation, relaxation, connectivity, and action based tactics. These tools will be used to enhance your ability of allowance in a performance to bring about a more organic action/reaction nature of your work.
Take away the “supposed to be” hinders of a performance and leave it open to genuine feelings and exploration that is at the root of “play”. Students will be highly encouraged to bring their own monologues or scenes that they wish to work on, if not, there shall be some material provided for work through.
