Come join us for a full day workshop will focus on the acting methods developed by Konstantin Stanislavski, which aim to help actors create truthful, believable performances rather than simply "pretending."
1. Script and Character Analysis
You'll spend time exploring:
Who the character is
What they want (their objectives)
What's stopping them (obstacles)
What actions they take to achieve their goals
2. The "Magic If"
"What would I do if I were in this situation?"
This helps actors connect personally to fictional circumstances without forcing emotions.
3. Emotional and Sensory Work
Sense memory exercises (recalling physical sensations)
Personal experiences that help illuminate a scene
Emotional authenticity
4. Improvisation
Improvise moments before or after a scripted scene
Explore relationships between characters
Create backstory through spontaneous exercises
5. Physical and Vocal Awareness
Relaxation techniques
Concentration exercises
Body awareness
Voice and breath work
6. Scene Study
Working on scenes with partners
Receiving feedback
Refining intentions and actions
Learning to listen and respond genuinely rather than reciting lines
7. Ensemble Exercises
Observation
Listening
Trust
Reacting in the moment
