Using a full published play by a major playwright the actors work on their feet, on the platform.

Thu, Oct 29 · 2:00 – 4:24 PM · Through Dec 18 · 8 weeks

This class explores the very first steps of creating a role. It can be described as the “table work” that the serious actor must do. From the title to the closing scene, the script is analyzed for the writer’s intent, theme and genre. At the same time, research into the time-period, place, socio-economic background of the character, etc. is discussed. This information is then used to begin building a character that serves the script and brings the character to life in a creative, truthful way. The work learned in this class sets the actor on the right course, and is a big step toward the student-actor becoming a creative, independent actor who can handle any type of script with confidence.

Wed, Oct 28 · 6:00 – 8:08 PM · Through Dec 18 · 8 weeks

Stella Adler Academy Technique I: Film, television and theatre are all collaborative efforts, and actors are the “doers” in each of these forms.

An intensive psycho-physical approach to movement training. In this class, actors develop a detailed technique for how the thoughts and feeling of their characters are expressed through physical movement and behavior. During this introductory term, a large emphasis is placed on self-awareness. Actors develop an understanding of their own physical habits and learn techniques for moving beyond those habits. This gives actors the freedom to engage their bodies in new ways in their acting and to make choices that serve the truth of their characters. This is a valuable class for students of all levels.

Thu, Oct 29 · 1:45 – 4:09 PM · Through Dec 18

The confident actor uses the principles of the Alexander Technique as a tool to be present and stay connected. After having the experience of the first Alexander Technique class (Alexander Technique I), the actor is ready to come to the Advanced, in order to explore more deeply the use of the self, and to carve deeper into the actor’s craft. The understanding of this process can enable the actor learn to choose more wisely. We will explore in depth how the Alexander Technique fits in perfectly when entering the stage: Maintaining a sense of lightness (and light-heartedness) in any audition; speaking without tension and strain. Furthermore, we will apply AT “tools” to monologues, scenes, mock auditions, cold readings, and in front of the camera. You’ll still receive the hands-on guidance from the teacher, as well as practice quieting your nervous system and releasing unnecessary tension with Constructive (Active) Rest. You’ll train yourself to be highly aware of your acting instrument, having the skill to stop unwanted habits and to make clearer and more confident choices.

Thu, Oct 29 · 10:00 AM – 12:24 PM · Through Dec 18 · 8 weeks

Technique III explores in depth the essentials of the Stella Adler Technique. Building a character, living in the given circumstances of a play, and playing actions and objectives are among the exercises that are covered. Translating the technique into a usable process through monologues and scenes is the central focus of the class. Pre-requisite for the class is completion of Adler Technique I and II.

Wed, Oct 28 · 6:00 – 8:30 PM · Through Dec 18 · 8 weeks

The goal of technique is to enable the actor to create specific characters in specific circumstances and through those characters to communicate the themes of the play. Through Stella Adler’s imagination work we will give the actors the tools to create the background of their characters. This is accomplished through specific exercises designed to strengthen the actors imagination and allowing them to build specific background for whatever character they are given. The technique teaches actors how to be moved by the circumstance and apply that work to their characters. This is the essence of Stella Adler’s work: the communication of the play through specific characters in specific circumstances.

Finding Your Edge: A Workshop For Actors You’re an actor. And you need edge. Well, one thing’s for certain, if you’re an actor, you are not ordinary. That’s the given. Now, use your imagination. Imagine you possess a distinct quality. An intense or unconventional quality that sets you apart, making you seem complex, intriguing, or even rebellious. Sometimes it might manifest as nonconformity, a bold refusal to follow the crowd, a confident charisma, or an adventurous spirit that challenges boundaries and makes things happen that aren't expected. If, as you imagine possessing any one or all of these qualities you become excited or even scared, that excitement or fear is your edge wanting to emerge. In Finding Your Edge: A Workshop for Actors, you are guided to step out of your comfort zone and give all you’ve got to give to David Coury’s Edge Exercises. These exercises force you the actor to move beyond the familiar to find the edge. “It’s not just about talent, it’s also about standing out. It’s about owning that thing, that edge that distinguishes you from others without fail. Because only then can you authentically create characters from a wellspring that includes your edge.” -Da
