We believe that an actor must be willing and ready to transform into a character with imagination and consistency. The program encourages and refines the actor's use of self through the exploration of different performance styles.
Language produces an image-rich mosaic of action.
The actor embodies the author's impulses by drawing on personal, anecdotal and historical resources, transforming them into character. The emphasis is on truthfulness, simplicity and freedom. Acting work focuses on impulse to action exercises culminating in the study of relationship. The voice and movement studios will concentrate on identifying and eliminating non-productive habits and encouraging performance strengths. The second year's work will have an early focus on the demands of heightened language.
