Overview of class

Everyday Acting is an opportunity for anyone who is ready to launch or continue their understanding of the craft of acting. Throughout the course we will explore both breath and body practices as they relate to accessing imagination and releasing tension. Working to release tension should free our child-like sense of play and boundless creativity to create and interpret character. By playfully exploring a character's backstory, current given circumstances and desire for the future, we will integrate our own lived experience with text-based choices found in a script.
