*NEW LONGER WORKSHOPS!*

Instructor - Scott Hurst

8-10 participants maximum


Dates & Times:

8 classes - WEDNESDAY, January 3, 10, 17, 24, 31, February 7, 14 & 21 (7:00 - 9:30 pm)


Location:

The Town Hall, 1 Hamilton Street, Cookstown (Home of The South Simcoe Theatre) An acting class allows the actor to try new things without the pressure of deadlines and audience expectations. It also allows the actor the opportunity to observe others as they experiment and make new discoveries; it’s “play” at its best. Each week we will do an exercise chosen to offer us a new skill or a new perspective that we can use immediately in our next audition or rehearsal. Topics include creating a character, endowing your location, creating a relationship, and the use of rehearsal props. There is minimal homework, and if people would like to tackle a monologue or scene that will be encouraged starting in Week 3. Each class is cumulative so regular attendance is recommended. Please note, this is an 8-week course on Wednesday evenings.

20 hours of instruction for $140.00 (Subsidies may be available upon request)N.B.
