Technique Track Year 2 will continue to expand on the various skills and techniques rooted in Stanislavski technique. Additional techniques from Sanford Meisner, Uta Hagen, and Stella Adler will continue to be integrated into the work, nourishing and encouraging the actor’s unique creative individuality.
In this class, the actor will also begin working with more advanced and sometimes physically-rigorous techniques such as Michael Chekhov, Tadashi Suzuki, Anne Bogart, and Frederick Matthias Alexander. Conservatory Year 2 is dedicated to improving the whole instrument, which, by its essential parts, is both physical and psychological. This class will not only provide the actor with practical tools and knowledge necessary to support their ambition to grow as an actor and to succeed as a professional, but will also assist the actor in acquiring a reliable approach to performing truthful human behavior on-camera, on-stage, and on-mic.
Actors will learn to outline their goals as well as perform with energy, imagination, and creative power. The use of the body and sensation and bringing the techniques into practice will unleash their latent creative and expressive capabilities.
