Drama Classes
Fri, 20 June 2003, 10:33 amFor anyone looking for drama classes, the Method Studio will be starting its new term in August. We offer classes both for the beginner and for the experienced actor. So if you wish to work in depth on Shakespeare, Chekhov, Ibsen or Wilde, or to take your first steps into this fascinating world, then we have something for you.
THE METHOD STUDIO - May 2003
The Method Studio is a new drama school, affiliated to the school of the same name in London, and offering a range of courses for both the student and more experienced actors. Eventually we hope to be able to give students a chance to build their own programme of classes, allowing anything between a single class and a fully intensive course. We are also able to offer a fast track entry procedure to the London school, for those who wish to continue their studies in Europe.
The Teacher
Classes will be taught by Stephen Lee. Born in London, Stephen worked extensively as a professional actor in both Theatre and Television before concentrating on directing and teaching. He has directed well over fifty productions, including at Her MajestyÂ’s Theatre, Haymarket (now home of Phantom of the Opera). He has taught Shakespeare and classical theatre studies at The Method Studio, London; the Lee Strasberg studio and Italia Conti drama School. He also worked for some years with a professional improvisation troupe in London.
He has just finished directing The Taming of the Shrew for GRADS, and will be adjudicating the State DramaFest later this year.
The Classes
We will be offering the same two classes as last term.
Acting through Improvisation: This course teaches the fundamentals of acting using improvisation exercises. It is an excellent introduction for the less experienced student while offering a great deal for the experienced actor who wishes to brush up on improvisational skills. The course covers: images; emotion and sense memory; objectives and conflicts; eye-contact; layering and focus; and gives the student a good grounding of how to approach a scene that can be carried over into script work.
Saturdays 2nd August - 20th September 10.00 am - 1.00 pm
Advanced Scene Study / Shakespeare: For more experienced actors, this practical class offers the chance to work in depth on scenes and speeches from Classical theatre. We will cover work from Ancient Greek Drama; Shakespeare/Jacobean theatre; Restoration Comedy; Comedy of Manners; Melodrama and the work of Ibsen Chekhov, Shaw and Wilde. The course will give practical help with language and verse speaking, and will explore the conventions and customs of different times and societies and hence the differences in style and approach needed by an actor when performing.
This course is based around work on studentsÂ’ individual monologues and scenes. This allows students to cover a broad range of eras, or focus on a particular author (such as Shakespeare).
Saturdays 2nd August - 20th September 2.00 pm - 5.00 pm
All classes will be at the Blue Room theatre, 53 James St. Northbridge
The Cost
The cost will be $220 for each course of eight three-hour classes. We can offer discounts if both courses are booked. Class numbers will be kept low, so please book early.

Re: Drama Classes
Hi Stephen
I would very much like to book a space in the Acting through Improvisation course commencing in August.
It'd be great if you could confirm if this mail is enough to ensure my spot or if I need to pay upfront etc.
Look forward to seeing you at The Rechabites next month.
Yours
Catriona

Re: Drama Classes worth checking out
Stephen Lee's classes are based in Perth, which is unfortunately a little far from Parramatta....
I participated in his Method & Improvisation class recently, and found I got a lot out of it. It was also extremely interesting for me to see not just the content of the classes but his method of teaching...he is fun, and very clear in the feedback he gives.
There was a wide range of ability/experience in the group, and his exercises were pitched at a level where we could all benefit regardless of whether we'd done this sort of thing before or not...in fact, one woman had enrolled immediately for another course after finishing the previous course, which has got to be a good endorsement!
I'd recommend checking the course out if you get the chance...can't help for suggestions in NSW, though, sorry...
Cheers
Craig
