A Class for Actors with Little or No Experience
The Foundational Acting Workshop allows the actor to develop new skills without the pressure of deadlines and audience expectations. It also allows an actor the opportunity to observe others as they make breakthroughs in a mutually encouraging environment; as one student put it, “This class is a safe place to land.” The goal of this workshop is to encourage the skill of “Believably motivated behaviour in imaginary circumstances.” To achieve this goal, we do weekly exercises chosen to offer the actor a new skill or a new perspective; these skills can be applied immediately in your next audition or rehearsal. No experience is necessary but, as each class builds on the one before it, regular attendance is expected. People who have previously attended the Level 1 Acting Class are welcome to take part in this workshop.
