A PRACTICAL
GUIDE FOR ACTING is a workshop designed to teach the basic skills,
concepts, and methods of modern realistic acting technique. Beyond
that, however, the class will provide students the opportunity to
strengthen those powers of concentration, focus, analysis,
imagination, creativity and empathy that are critical to every art
form.
During the
Workshop the student will work in various capacities which will
enable them to work toward the following goals:
 |

of theatre:
what theatre is, what its elements and conventions are, and what
qualities are needed to make good theatre.

vocal, and mental skills needed to be
a successful actor on the stage.
