Every role, scene, genre and story is different.

There is not one way to act in any of them.

​

Drawing from the methodologies of UTA HAGEN,

SANFORD MEISNER, STELLA ADLER, MICHAEL CHEKHOV, STEPHAN PERDEKAMP and others, scene partners work together to create authentic interactions.

​

Explorations focus on committed States-Of-Being,

character development grounded in authentic Behaviour, interactions with Objects, nuanced Transitions, action and dialogue as extensions of Thought; accessed through

Core Emotions.

 

Original class resources include; 

What Is A Beat?

Script Analysis/Scene Breakdown

Learning A Scene

Objective Observations

The Story of The Scene

 

 Students are encouraged to adapt to feedback in studio, review/self-evaluate weekly footage to make further adjustments in their performances.
