PROFESSIONAL GROUP SCREEN & TV CLASS 6 weeks Meisner said “you can’t fake emotion, the camera knows the difference” The classes are set up in a way that we explore the truth in ourself for our characters to exist onscreen, this is not the easiest environment for some people and requires full attention and openness to the technique and the teachers.
The classes are set up like a real casting situation, each week scripts will be sent out a few days beforehand, you will prepare and come in to be filmed, the footage is then played back and analysed.
You will learn how to break down a script, teaching you the difference between story objective and a relationship choice.
You will learn how to simplify a script, making a simple relationship choice, "how do I want the other person to behave towards me".
You will learn to set up a domino effect with your choices that will allow you to be reactive in a scene, "as you are reacting, by the very definition, you will not be acting".
You will learn to find and use your individual voice, helping you to fully inhabit yourself towards a character.
You will learn how to make fear your friend, the more you know and learn the system, the fewer feelings of jeopardy and fear you will have".
You will learn to tap into the subconscious mind, the creative, not the logical brain, this will give you the confidence to be creative whenever you need to be.
You will learn to separate the business of acting and casting, giving you the confidence to be an artist in the industry.
You will learn to be reactive in any situation, you will learn how not to plan your reactions, making you stand out as an individual.
Acting is an art form, and like all other arts, it demands that you study and master the craft, this cannot be done over night.
