Character 1:
|
Who do you want to be? In this Tier 2 class, students will learn to develop, play with and maintain different character types in scenes. We’ll work to create characters who display pathos, tenderness, realism, and humor, rather than coming off simply as caricatures. We’ll start from a base of physical characteristics, gait, voice, personal observation, emotion, props, thoughts, and more. We’ll create a supportive atmosphere where students can reach beyond their perceived limits (and then rest when necessary), developing their skills, courage, and repertoire over the course of the session.
