The Elements of Acting

How do you move from a wooden performance that appears rehearsed, to a natural, believable one?
The key is listening and responding to your fellow actor in a way that is authentic. And that means bringing emotion to what you do. In The Elements of Acting, you'll work through a series of techniques and exercises from the famous acting practitioner, Sanford Meisner, and begin to apply your learning to performance. FOR: BEGINNER to INTERMEDIATE STUDENTS STARTS 12 JULY |
