This acting course, open to all, is designed to develop techniques that heighten specific facets of ourselves in theatrical contexts. Through improvisations, games, and discussions, participants will cultivate their authentic physicalities, rhythms, and instincts.

We will explore light vocal and physical warm-ups, text and character analysis, and foster an open-minded approach to ensemble building. The process-centred course will emphasize humility, respect, and enjoyment. Participants will practice connecting with their scene partners on multiple, simultaneous levels.

The course will conclude with an open class, offering a glimpse into the work participants have developed.

Objectives

Participants will discover how to connect with theatre in everyday life. The skills developed in this course can be applied well beyond theatrical practice, including listening, public speaking, leadership, critical thinking, and self-reflection.
