This six-week course is designed to cultivate an actor's personal process through in-depth script analysis and physical exploration. Drawing on techniques from Uta Hagen, Stanislavski, Stella Adler, and Michael Chekhov, actors will focus on a single script throughout the intensive. In this intensive, actors will practice full body listening and strengthen their connection to breath and impulse. Actors will work to develop interpretations that are grounded, connected, and spontaneous. The course will culminate in a final round of self-taped scenes, accompanied by live feedback and review.

This course offers an in-depth exploration of self-taping technique. Each week, actors will self-tape an assigned script and then join a live Zoom session to review their work. Together, we'll discuss each self-tape, provide feedback on technical set up, and explore ways to deepen interpretation through bold choices and specificity.  Actors will incorporate notes and adjustments into a re-tape of their scene the following week. Throughout the course, actors will work on 3 scenes and hone their ability to craft self-tapes that are grounded, specific, and bold. This class will utilize Film & TV scripts to assist actors in translating their theatrical tools into the on-camera medium.  

This class provides a weekly deep dive into on-camera technique. Each week we will focus on a different aspect of the craft including: self-tape technique, moment before, script analysis, movement, imagery, characterization, relationship, objectives, environment and pacing, . Actors will work with a variety of Film & TV scripts to help translate their theatrical tools into compelling on-camera performances. This class will conclude with recording our final scenes and sharing the work with the OF&DC community!
