with David Corbett.

“The play is not in the words, it’s in you!” – Stella Adler
Working with multiple scenes over 7 sessions, this class will get right down to business. We’ll work with:
How to break down a scene work and make strong clear choices for scene performance.
3 page scenes, which will be given to students a couple of days in advance for actors to just to memorize the words of the assigned character thoroughly, ready to present on its feet.
Presenting scene work while recorded on camera-with supporting actor reading scene off camera.
Mentor David Corbett will utilize the recorded scene work to adjust the actor between takes. And finally, actors will, on their feet, presen their scenes fully to be recorded, and then viewed in playback at end of class. Using live presentation AND the camera, this process is for actors to observe themselves and each other-in real time- handling the scene performance challenges, before and after adjustments, then being able to witness specific improvements take by take. Though we use a camera during the training, this is not an Act for Camera class construction. Weekly, the mentor will bring in his own video camera simply to record the prepared scene exercises, exclusively for feedback purposes.
